Should Anthony Joshua replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond?

No Time To Die is Daniel Craig's last James Bond film. Apparently the 'favorite' to replace him is Henry Cavill because Henry Cavill is British, popular, considered good looking, and physically fit to do stunts for action scenes. However, Anthony Joshua is also British, also popular, also considered good looking, and also physically fit to do action scenes, and he's just as good an actor as Henry Cavill, probably better. We have seen combat sports athletes transition to Hollywood before. I'm not saying AJ would make the perfect Bond, but out of the available choices, why not AJ?

I imagine if they did they'll be no fighting scenes Since Joshua can't take a punch, he'll be floored On the first punch

I imagine Joshuas acting range would make vin diesel look academy award levels. You'd be shocked if you knew..... Did you ever believe Vin Diesel's acting? No? IMO then already 26 times, Joshua disproved your comment.

He did well in the SAS drill as a complete novice. And he’d fit in perfectly if he could take acting lessons. I hope they don’t put a woman there due pressure from liberals. If AJ was Bond the film would end in like 5 minutes. Some dude would Jack a car, AJ would show up, the guy would put on an Andy Ruiz mask, and AJ would pass out and hit his head. Guy gets away. AJ would beat up a 15th degree black belt in one scene but then in the next one a little low level mid tier thug would show up and knock him out. Lol.

MI6 would send him on mission but he’d refuse cause he needs proof of funds. :lol1: AJ would handle low level stuff like car robberies. He couldn’t save the world from a bomb or anything. MI6 traffic division. Lol.

I like Bond films. I don’t care who plays Bond. Just not AJ because he’d get killed by a mid tier villain, not even like a real threat to the world. MI6 would send him on mission but he’d refuse cause he needs proof of funds. :lol1:

he has to be put through the boxingscene test for the role though & that involves acting tough for his next fight, if he passes, act tough & backs it up in the ring, then maybe (pigs might fly)

I would actually say Joshua is a better actor than Henry Cavill Then again the post-it note on my wall is a better actor than Henry Cavill too

What if they choose a short, chubby Mexican actor to play the villain tho? Say Michael Pena gets the role, how would the movie end? The Big Dunn I like Bond films. I don’t care who plays Bond. Just not AJ because he’d get killed by a mid tier villain, not even like a real threat to the world.
