Bondnotblonde, please have some manners? Nobody here needs to sober up, we're all aware Cavill would be a great choice for Bond. In case you still didn't realise, and you clearly haven't, Cavill is a choice that sits well with BOTH the "I don't like Craig" people AND the "I do like Craig" people. Ask yourself some questions since you're literally the only one who says certain (completely unmotivated, I would say) things about Cavill here. There has to be a reason for it. And I think it is that you have seen Cavill in precious nothing, and know nothing about him, but you have to say those things about him in order to just offend him for the sake of it. And you go on with that Sadowitz suggestion? If you actually read what's been said to you about that, you would realise that you are taking this a bit too far maybe? It's all fine as long as it's a joke, when this whole thing just becomes an excuse to insult Cavill or offend other people here by telling them to "sober up" then I don't think it's fine anymore.
If Craig decides to quit in the few months (an impossible scenario!!) who are the favourites to take over? Hugh and Clive won't be cast for various reasons, and Henry Cavill is favourite. Who are the other candidates?
I can only think of Henry Cavill as he'd be the perfect fit. I honestly can't come up with anyone else right now. I mean as in viable option. There are people who would fit the role but most of those are too famous, won't accept, cost too much etc. Some people suggested Hugh Dancy but I'm not really convinced he'd be good? I'd vote for Gerard Butler, but he's way too famous now, and between that and his age he'd be in the same position as Jackman and Owen. Hm. Callum Blue? I think he has the attitude and the looks. Hadn't thought about him. He was on the Tudors with Cavill (secondary role) was a lead on Dead Like Me. he could be an alternative I guess. Obviously all these (excluding Butler, Jackman and Owen clearly) are second-rate choices compared to Cavill for me. But still. Some people mentioned the guy who is in Dr Who? I'm not convinced either, but again, it wouldn't be the best possible choice, so one has to settle
Wait, I forgot Matt Bomer. d**n he would be great and he sure has the looks and the perfect attitude (check out White Collar, he's the lead in the show. He really is great). But, two fundamental problems: A)he's American and B)he's gay. The first one excludes him already, the second one would, ahem, not go down too well with a lot of people in the fandom (I couldn't care less about an actor being gay or not, or about a gay actor taking the role of Bond, but we all know that doesn't apply to the majority of Bond fans).
