just make Sydney Sweeney 007. and make her be the womanizer, have her be the one seducing the "Bond girls"
why not? why the heck NOT. anyone give me a good reason why that wouldn't work......

I think you may need to take a cold shower. In case the post was serious, you can commission what you like for a series with Sydney Sweeney, but please don't try to tie it into the James Bond world.

Well, the man is a spy and a government sanctioned assassin, so the unhappy end goes well with the more realistic/serious approach of Craig's films, IMHO.
And I really didn't need him to be the "womaniser" of the 60's-90's... the eye candy was there without the need for that.

Fair enough. If we have many Bonds there's room for that. Speaking of the womanizing 60s, thinking back to Mad Men I wonder how Jon Hamm would have done with the role. He's too old for it now, though.

I think Hamm would've been great. The man is really versatile, he's good with comedy as well.

if Amazon is thinking of changing James Bond, then Sydney is a great choice.

...which would mean it was no longer James Bond. I'm going to assume you're having fun with some kind of weird fantasy rather than actually discussing James Bond and leave it there.

who is your top choice for bond?

Jack Lowden. He's got the acting skills and, at 34 years old, he's got sufficient youth on his side to play Bond for some years ahead without being too young to play Commander Bond. He's been excellent in Slow Horses and in The Gold. Set in the 1950s and 60s, during the Cold War, and you've got a great set-up.
