    Although Danny has the same views on treating women as Connery :#

    Whew, I'm quite happy Cavill isn't Bond. I wouldn't be interested. He is too generic -- he looks like he should be doing an ad on the back of a comic book for Charles Atlas. He's the guy who kicks sand in the face of puny 90-pound weaklings, or whatever. I'm not crazy about him being Napoleon Solo, an iconic character, either. What I've seen of Man of Steel suggests he can act, but I'm not sure he really does the Superman thing for me. I get that it was a "dark" version of the comic book character, but about the only appeal he's ever really had for me is his goody-two-shows, aw-shucks pureness, and Cavill made him seem more like some interchangeable jock in a TV series on the WB. A character like Bond (or Napoleon Solo, for that matter) needs the right combination of looks, brains, and personality. He shouldn't have a cookie cutter quality to him. Say what you will about Daniel Craig, but the producers were wise in choosing an actor who isn't an interchangeable mannquin or underwear model. There are already dozens of other films where one can see that, and they are not Bond.

    Totally agree with you here - don't want Cavill as Bond, too much like Brosnan (in the 'looking too perfect') for my taste.

    Fassbender is a good choice, but surely too old now?

    It will be interesting to see who it is.... let's hope they have the same ability that Craig has, as in action and his ability to do a lot himself and acting wise. Craig has certainly pushed the series fwd in my opinion.

    Cavill is going to be tied up with the Superman vs. Batman and DC franchise/Justice League films. If he's Bond, you'll see Bond movies once every 5 years in between scheduling the DC stuff.

    And I don't like him as Bond.
