The reason he didn't get the Bond role isn't his poor acting skill (come on - it's not like Pierce Brosnan was any better in that regard).

The real reason is the fact he's gay.

I honestly believe Craig fooled the Bond franchise stakeholders into believing he was straight - I mean he put a lot of effort into it - he's even married, and not to a random woman off the street he could easily pay off, but to a successful beautiful actress.

So, they aren't taking any chances now - and it's not like Cavill is even really trying hard to hide it - you can easily verify with a single google search that he's a flaming faggot.

>>212865660 (OP)
the real reason is because his vegeta hairline wouldn't survive more than 2 movies

>>212865660 (OP)
he isn't charismatic enough to play Bond.

He's just not a good bond, he doesn't have the swagger to pull it off which was why I actually thought he was a decent superman at least in the context of that film

>>212865660 (OP)
>come on - it's not like Pierce Brosnan was any better in that regard).
Pierce is charming

>>212865770
he'd be in the dalton mold, i think he'd be good

>>212865660 (OP)
one thing ill agree with craig is almost unfathomably gay

>>212865805
He's a plank of wood (but a really good looking wood).

>>212865715
bro don't say that shit, Cavill and I have twin hairlines and we are still fighting

>>212865770
given how badly Michael Shannon's performance goes wrong in MoS I'd say Cavill was saved by not being asked to do anything very much. he dodged a bullet but it says nothing positive about him as an actor.

>>212865660 (OP)
>married to the heir of the Viscuso fortune with a baby on the way
>"Cavill is totally gay, guys! Trust me!
Retard

>>212866032
so that's how he's paying for the ridiculous blanket shill threads.

>>212865715
You guys have been talking shit about his hairline for more than 10 years and it still looks the same

>>212865949
Shannon gave an Oscar winning performance as one of the greatest villains in fiction next to Eisenberg Lex, so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, you weirdo. He was robbed btw - like if that loser Hopkins could get a pity Oscar, Shannon could get one he deserved for Zod

He didn't get the role because he was a 22 year old who looked babyfaced, came to the audition with a stubble and slicked back longish hair and wasn't any good when it came to the acting either. Daniel Craig was a miscast, especially when you consider they had Clive Owen who everybody wanted and who's ten times the actor Craig is and looked classically Bondian, but Craig sold himself out like a whore to Barbara. Homosexual men can easily sell themselves to women for work.

>>212866251
Quite literally bond because he was some wop's muse

>>212865660 (OP)
I want to lick that part where his neck turns into his jaw.

>>212866251
>Clive Owen
He's a pretty boy (in mannerism) with a weird potato nose.
He wouldn't sell hardened Bond portrayed in Casino Royale.

>>212865762
ain't got that rizz

>>212865660 (OP)
Cavill certainly does love the cock

>>212866371
We'll never know because he didn't get the training regiment Craig was on to make him look tougher. Craig was the only one stupid enough to take the job back then, that's an ugly truth. He realized this which is why he became so bitter. As it stands, everytime people bring him up, it's never "Oh, yeah, Daniel Craig" like with Connery or Brosnan, they always mix his name up or forget it. He's on the same rank as Lazenby despite being in the role for the longest. Now THAT's a charisma vacuum.

>>212865660 (OP)
This nigga lookin' ZESTY, this nigga lookin' MOIST, he's got sugar in his tank, he's light on his feet, he's a Ill bit fruity, he plays for the other team, he dances at the other end of the ballroom, this nigga theatrical, this nigga good with colors, this nigga gonna coordinate yo curtains wit you cushions and that shit gonna look good! This nigga lifts shirts, this nigga on the down low, this nigga be a tollet trader, this nigga gardens uphill, this nigga packs fudge, he's a friend of Dorothy, he feels the love that dare not speak Its name, he loves to dance, he's of the Uranian brotherhood, he indulges in the French vice, he has an antipathic sexual Instinct, he's fluent in Polari, he's a refugee from Sodom, he's on the wrong bus, he bats for the other team, he's temperamental, he's 'one of them' if you catch my drift.

>>212866233
"I will find him!!" "on a farm??" and various other howlers made Shannon look fucking terrible, but its mostly Zack's fault. no one who isn't a shill has memories of his performance that don't include laughing pretty frequently.

>>212866318
I want to smell his chest hair. Just one sniff.

>>212866556
>"I will find him!!"
I always get chills
>"on a farm??"
A small line put so much into context that it is ingenius.

Snyder made four of the best villains in the history of fiction via Zod, Lex, Doomsday, and Steppenwolf, and Darkseid would have been there two if he had movies to himself, but as it stands Darkseid/Desaad surpass villains like Lecter, Vader, etc. in being memorable and chilling

>>212865715
Connery wore a hairpiece for most of his films

>>212865715
Oh, he's on the Finasteride now, no worries.

I’m a little concerned that they got a director before they got their Bond. Now it’s up to Villenueve. But Bond has never been about the director, it’s about fucking Bond. The directors come and go. They should have prioritized nailing the casting (Aaron Taylor Johnson) and then taken directors’ calls. Now who the fuck knows what Villenueve will do, there are already rumors that he wants to cast some beady-eyed pudgy ginger.

>>212867472
Villeneueve is only doing the movie just so he can say he did it but has NO decision-making power on ANYTHING. He'll just point the camera. He's not deciding on Bond, the script, anything. It's already well accepted that the new Bond is ATJ. It'll probably be announced for Global Bond Day in October like they did Daniel Craig back in 2005 (20 years ago).

>>212865715

is that supposed to be an insult

>>212865660 (OP)
Cope post. We don't know if he got the role or not. Do you have proof?

Welcome back. Another day of bullshit.

>>212867965
People like you are going to have a really bad day when the news drops and his face is plastered all over the catalog. The signs are there:
>rumored for years just like the previous two Bonds
>signed a deal with Omega just like the last two Bonds
>The Sun reported his casting a year before it happens just like Craig

>>212866556
>I was raised to be a warrior cow
>there's one way this ends. You die or I do
Shannon was Kryptonian Guy Gardner

>>212868023
All of that falls flat since Barbara Broccoli left as producer. We have no idea who it will be, especially you.

>>212868023
He also transitioned from being fast-tracked to big budget, A-list stardom and starring in superhero movies, to preferring indie movies. They don’t like Bond to be too famous before they cast him so it’s pretty obvious he tipped off that he was the favorite and told to slow his roll

>>212868023
Also look at this thread. Half of it happens to be about Superman.

literally a better actor than danny craig and larger.... I call bs

>>212868242
>>212868197
>>212868170
The ATJ fan is way off the mark. Barbara would've never cast ATJ because he's too famous and well-established. She was actually going for a younger unknown like Tom Brittney or Leo Suter. Amazon doesn't care about surprising people and making careers so they will just cast ATJ, who's the most popular choice after Cavill, and be done with it. Look at who they got as director. The most popular choice after Nolan. They will make people settle for sloppy seconds instead of Nolan/Cavill which would've been a 2billion cultural phenomenon.
>>212868242
Don't know too much about DC since I'm mainly a Bond/Doctor Who guy and stick to British franchises but I loved Man of Steel. It was a great film. I only watched the DC movies where British actors/directors worked on them.

I really like Henry Cavil. When he’s in something, my chances of watching it go up by at least 40%

>Cary Joji Fukunaga is an American filmmaker . .

INB4 you were only pretending to be retarded

>>212868500
You typed a lot just to be retarded. ATJ is not a household name and is not too popular to be Bond. He was on track to be, but he never had a breakthrough role.

kinda, they haven't had a fairly believable Bond since Moore.
>sell me this heterosexual relationship

>>212868699
>>212868728
ATJ has a David Beckham voice. That should immediately disqualify him from being Bond.

>>212868755
People say that just because they watched Bullet Train where he leans into it. Watch Nosferatu, he sounds normal

>>212865762
True, he "looks" the part but he doesn't really have the "sauve" thing going on (Pierce Brosnan technically didn't quite have that Bond aura but he still had charm or something)

>>212868642
>>212868522
I got green eyes, and yes blue eyes look demonic and evil

>>212865660 (OP)
he's just too famous and expensive. If you're a well known franchise like Bond, you want to hire an unknown who wont command a huge paycheck at first

I always thought Clive Owen would have been a great bond, especially knowing now what we got with Daniel Craig. Unfortunately he is too old for the role now.
