Let me tell you something as an American, buddy: if the next Bond is one of us then do you know how I’m going to feel? I’m going to be unbelievably, completely disappointed as well. Fuckin Amazon would do it, too. Would definitely be one of the final nails in the franchise’s coffin.
Comment on Who will be the next James Bond? Amazon's tough 007 decision

Maybe they’re smart enough to choose someone who is either British or who has a flawless British accent.
But I do bet they’ll start doing spin off TV shows on Amazon Prime, like Disney has done with Star Wars. If it helps them milk the franchise for more money then surely they’d do it.

100% joking. He’s Hollywood’s answer to every role lately.
I like Chris Pratt. He’s a funny guy. But I’m so tired of him, he’s horribly miscast all the time

Fair enough. I guess I could possibly forgive an American actor as long as they can do an extremely good British accent. If the accent sounds at all American I will be annoyed.
I thought Pierce Brosnan was good as Bond and his accent was fine (he’s Irish of course - I don’t think he has British citizenship).
