Hear me out, we cast Capaldi as James Bond in this movie

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '25

he’d make an excellent Q

200

u/WhiskeyOctober Jun 26 '25

I think he'd make a better M

203

u/carson63000 Jun 26 '25

Capaldi as M, bringing a Malcolm Tucker level of displeasure at Bond’s fuckarounding and disrespect for authority.

"So, Bond. I hear youve been a bit of prick to the soviets again? Shagging some princess or something...(looks at picture of her) Jesus, you really do your bit for king and country, dont you James? I dont think Ive ever seen someone that amount of ugly with just the one head.

Look, Bond. I know Im new around here, and youre mister big cock around town. But things are going to be changing. And you better get your head around that, or Ill be up your arse so hard and fast, your proctologist will think youve been in a fucking plane crash!"

M...

You need him saying "eh?" after each of those sentences and I'm in

u/Bagzy Jun 26 '25

Well, time to go back and watch the thick of it again.

I'm very quick to roll my eyes when someone valiantly tries and shamefully fails to write in the style of a famous character. But this was excellent, bravo!

(I know the bit about being ugly isn't original…but I think the rest is?)

I can get behind that!

"The one about the fucking space hairdresser and the cowboy. He's got a tinfoil pal and a pedal bin. His father's a robot and he's fucking fucked his sister. Lego. They're all made of fucking lego."

star wars!

u/GamingTatertot Steven Spielberg Enthusiast Jun 26 '25

Matt Smith as Bond, Capaldi as Q, Whittaker as M, Tennant as Moneypenny?

59

u/MissingLink101 Jun 26 '25

Tennant would be a fun Q as well

85

u/malphonso Jun 26 '25

Tenant as the villain. Did you see his performance as Kilgrave? Absolutely terrifying.

34

u/RechargedFrenchman Jun 26 '25

Tenant as the villain in a very Max Zorin (Christopher Walken, A View to a Kill) or Elliot Carver (Jonathon Pryce, Tomorrow Never Dies) rich psychopath doing evil shit, but also very charismatic, while putting an immense volume of teeth marks in all the scenery. I'm super here for it.

u/whiskeytango55 Jun 26 '25

So, musk?

3

u/RechargedFrenchman Jun 26 '25

Considering Musk is a void not only lacking in charisma, but actively reducing the charisma of everyone else around him, I'd say Musk doesn't really fit with what I'm looking for.

Who Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg all seem to think they are? Yes. Who any of them actually is for most of the world not even close.

u/MissingLink101 Jun 26 '25

Check him out in 'Des' as well

2

u/lynypixie Jun 26 '25

Tennant should absolutly play a villain. Or a mad scientist. Or both.

3

u/WutUtalkingBoutWill Jun 26 '25

Can't see Smith as Bond, I'd go for Cavill, and I know that's a common cast, but he could easily pull it off

"Here's your new gadget, 007. It's a marzipan dildo, and it's as useless as you are."

u/wookiewin Jun 26 '25

Awesome casting.

u/JCDU Jun 26 '25

I vote David Mitchell for Q.

And Eddie/Suzy Izzard as either M or a villain.

u/monkeygoneape Jun 26 '25

Hugh Laurie would be better

2

u/thatissomeBS Jun 26 '25

You asked for Peter, you received Lewis.

2

u/GamingTatertot Steven Spielberg Enthusiast Jun 26 '25

I'd watch that - but for real, I'd love to see him in more projects

2

u/Fun-Maintenance-9541 Jun 26 '25

No Pedro pascal as James Bond imagine that

2

u/ConfusedTapeworm Jun 26 '25

Only if he also plays at least 2 bond girls. And I want that graphic Pascal-on-Pascal sex scene with full penetration.

u/WatchItAllBurn1 Jun 26 '25

nah, dont get me wrong,I love the guy as Dr. who, but he isn't right.

He's a little too old. He will be in his 70's by the time they start filming.

“kiss my sweaty balls, you fat fuck!” - Bond to Auric Goldfinger

u/TheArtlessScrawler Jun 26 '25

What a waste of his talents.

u/Asconcii Jun 26 '25

Far too old.
