    So are we talking a pinch, a bag or a truck full of salt? Not too familiar with pagesix so not sure how reputable their "sources" are.

    Anyway if there's truth in the story it's upsetting news for any Hiddleston backers.

    You just beat me with this. Really hoping that it's true!

    "Sources" ... :))

    Craig deciding to come back has always been the wild card. I hope he doesn't, but if he does, I'll get behind it.

    It has always been my preference to have Craig return for 25 but I wouldn't put much faith in pagesix being a reliable source of information. The alleged quotes from Barbara Broccoli regarding Hiddleston seem particularly fake and just typical tabloid/internet nonsense. IMO, it's not about Hiddleston or Aidan Turner being suitable to play Bond, it's more about the producers having a strong preference for Craig to return.

    I'm not sure. Hiddleston is hardly the Daniel Craig/Sean Bean type, and they are Barbara Broccoli's type.

    I'd like to see Craig do one more. Spectre wasn't quite the send off I was hoping for.

    The last few photos I have seen of Craig he has looked particularly bad. If he wants to return, he's going to need to start looking after himself a bit or we'll be in Connery/DAF or Roger/AVTAK territory. :v

    Looking aged and well-fed on his last mission is a Bond star tradition! -{

    Just saw some photos of Craig from an event he attended on March 14th. He looked fine IMO. The usual Craig in-between Bonds look as far as I could tell (grey stubble, slightly haggard, very unBondlike wardrobe but slim and fit ). The Craig "looks old, bad, etc", etc seems to be par for the course in between Bond films. I will say the photos from the football matches do make him look heavy in the face (his head looks very square) but I think it has more to do with the cap he is wearing and the big telephoto lens the pictures were taken with. If he comes back for 25 I am pretty confident he will look pretty much the same as he did in SPECTRE.

    It's only one unreliable paper that said it, and everyone is referencing the one paper.

    I don't think he looked bad at the into awards or on the Omaze campaign!

    I thought he looked great in the Omaze video. He is/can get into better shape than anyone at his age who's played the part. IMO I have not seen anyone who could do as good of a job as Craig has done.

    I was watching Hiddleston in an interview on Graham Norton doing Pacino/DeNiro impressions (in front of DeNiro) and didn't know whether to laugh or cry...

    He just looks a bit jet lagged and probably hung over :))

    His haircut looks considerably better than it does in any of his Bond films. His Bond haircuts, particularly in SF and SP, age him more than anything.

    Particularly Skyfall, in some scenes it just doesn't compliment him at all, but then on the cover of Bond on set he looks good.

    Agree about the haircut. It looks much better right now.

    So then...here, they say that Babs 'doesn't like' Hiddleston for the role :s And Craig is 'just about persuaded' to return.

    Enough click-bait, people.

    The silly Hiddleston slagging attributed to Barbara Broccoli sounds really fake.

    I agree with that.

    I just don't get how so many places are picking up what Page Six said, like they don't know it's not a reliable news source.

    These claims about what Barbara B may have said are usually followed by 'Barbara Broccoli was unavailable for comment' 8-)
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Can we even be sure Barbara said she was unavailable for comment :p

    Was at the movies today and saw two trailers of films starring Charlie Hunnam. I have to say, if DC doesn't return and Barbara Broccoli is still attached to the Craig- type for Bond IMO Hunnam would be perfect. Hunnam basically is a taller, younger (37), more classically handsome version of Craig without the overly weathered look. With the softest of re-boots (some vague references to past adventures, etc EON could slip Hunnam into the tux and not miss a beat). They could easily get 5 or 6 films out of the more youthful looking for his age Hunnam. Just my two cents worth.

    Hunnam is a black hole of charisma.
