Uh, well, he kinda wouldn't fit the role for one obvious reason...

... he's not British!  Actually, Brosnan is Irish, but he moved to England at a young age.

George Lazenby? I love Denzel and I'm sure he could learn the accent but I just can't see it at the moment, he doesn't have the Bond vibe for me, he's a different kind of cool.

At least he was an England resident at the time.  And he was only in one movie.  :P



Around the Network

Hello? Denzel is an Two-Time Academy Award Winning Actor. It's obvious he would have to develop a British Accent, and I think he's got that part well covered.

None of you have said the most obvious reason!

He's freaking OLDER than dirt! He's gonna be 60 this DECEMBER! 60!! That would be the oldest James Bond ever to do his first movie. He would need to breath in a respirator after every action scene!! Sorry Alzonso, that ship sailed 20 years ago for you!

But he's not British! So what if he could fake an accent, do we really want it to be faked? No, it should be the real thing!


James Bond isn't a real person Ka-pi lol
