Amazon's James Bond Wishlist: Studio Wants Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi

I can't really see Tom Holland in the role.
I can't see Holland either, but maybe he would surprise us. I know Craig surprised me.

David, I don’t see them giving a James Bond series to an actor who is for so young. Second, they wouldn’t give the role to an act of famous for another movie series. They did give it to.A Saint and a private detective but that was a TV series.

by the way, in the book Moonraker, James Bond mentions that secret agents were aged from 30 to 45. And the made 1,500 pound a year. They also could get a 1,000 pound bonus. Bond like going on missions cause he had an unlimited expense account.

I can understand Holland being desired by some Amazon execs b/c of his "name", but it's really hard to see him as a fit.

Bond should be a British actor. Period. If people are as concerned as they claim to be with authenticity etc nowadays, that should be set in stone.

No worries. He's played a lot of American parts (and has a pretty good accent).
