His name’s Worthington. Sam Worthington. But there’s a chance he might be the next 007, too.
Online sources are connecting the Avatar star to Ian Fleming’s famed British super-spy, while other rumors suggest Daniel Craig might be on the way out. According to Digital Spy, the Australian Worthington has been named by betting agencies as the most likely star to replace Craig, who starred in 2006’s Casino Royale and 2008’s Quantum of Solace.

He was, and is, the most physical Bond to date.
Worthington is going to be a star though.
I prefer him to another bland Jake Loserhall type.
“At least Gerard Butler is trying to shed his 300’ stereotype and going for comedic roles.”
Now Gerard Butler is my choice, my kind of man. Tall (about 6’3ish), dark, and handsome. A good actor, and can even sing. Plus he chooses a variety of roles to play, all of them interesting choices. I’d almost hate to see him stereotyped as “Bond” though, as I love his malleability when it comes to different kinds of characters he chooses to play.
Plus, Butler’s Scottish, - like the original 007 ( Connery).

Yeah, and a hunk to boot. Eye candy. A man’s man as well as a woman’s man. My first choice. And he’s intelligent which is a plus.
Isn’t Owen a but of a mumbler?
“He was, and is, the most physical Bond to date”.
Have you not seen the last 2 Bond movies,Craig would kick Lazenby’s ass just my humble opinion.
Slainte.
If you like Butler check out RocknRolla it is a Guy Ritchie movie his British movies do not do well in USA but that might change now that Sherlock Holmes is a big hit..
And before that was the latest Terminator. He was the star of that movie, IMO. He outperformed Bale.
[but he has the potential to be made to look more like him than the others]
I agree with you, Sam’s young and we got used to an older Connery. Worthington’s ‘portrayal’ will be the deciding factor - if he’s the one.
There's a scene where a huge black henchman attacks Bond in his hotel room, and Bond tears the place apart beating him senseless and unconscious, smiles and puts his tuxedo jacket on, dips a cracker in some caviar, and walks out of the room while saying, "Mmmm, Royal beluga from the Caspian."
Its the kind of attitude and physical authority that measures up well to Craig's glossy Hollywood Bond. I still give the edge to Lazenby.
