Tom Holland? Respectfully, no thank you

Tom Holland recently addressed the possibility of playing James Bond in Bond 26 and, like most actors would, expressed interest in the role. Along with that interest, he mentioned his working relationship with Amy Pascal from the Spider-Man movies, which honestly makes me nauseous to think that their connection could potentially get him the role of 007.

Respectfully to Tom Holland, please no. He’s a talented actor and his movies have been successful, but I just don’t see him as James Bond. Has he ever really been intimidating in any of his previous roles? I think Bond needs a certain edge, a sense of danger underneath the charm, and with Holland’s babyface, I’m not convinced he has the right look for the part. Bond can absolutely be played by someone younger, but the actor still needs to feel like someone who could walk into a room and command it, which I just don’t get from Tom Holland.

Lest ye Bond fans forget this woman’s name from The Man With The Golden Gun which is about as subtle as a brick through a window. It’s one of the more blatantly sexually suggestive names in the series, right up there with Pussy Galore. Or maybe she just made the name up as a joke?…

So will Amazon actually formally release Bond 26 in theaters?  I feel like they’d be leaving money on the table if they didn’t.  Or will it just premiere on Amazon Prime Video??
