We just got our first still by the New York Times

Wow from that angle, a very unisex/effeminate looking Mac this time round. Needs to do some curls for the girls!

I knew from recent pics that Lucas would have long hair in the pilot - but it does look longer then assumed. Though I always assumed that they would show him with very short hair in some flashbacks for his military service time (like Arrow did, only in reverse)... if they rewrite / reshoot the pilot, that Mazari and Military Background story might change, though.

We'll see if he's going to keep it - what if he needs to have very short hair for the movie production Lucas starts in September? Maybe some explosion in the chemistry lab and MacGyver has to shave it off eventually during the season

Looks fine to me we all knew we weren't getting the mullet so the long hair approach is fine with me I kind of like it. As an aside I just jumped up and down and sent the pic to everyone I know

Long hair. Short hair, horns, beard. I'm just waiting on a pilot. Although as "good budgeted" as it may appear, not really "feeling" it. Just IMO.

Well that does nothing to change my mind on Lucas. He's still not for me. He looks like a member of One Direction rather than an action hero. Sorry. 😩

Is it just me, or does this picture look as though MacGyver is the apprentice, and Lincoln (if that is his name now) is showing him a cool trick.

Interesting angle... but perhaps this is why they are change it.

That long haired scruffy look doesn't work for me at all.

Yeah it kind looked like that to me as well.

Having just watched the promos for both Prison Break 5 and 24: Legacy, both these shows look AMAZING !
MacGyver needs to be competing at this level

I reckon that's why CBS are having a major rethink, and direction for the show.

But all this can be achievable, with Peter Lenkov on board

Macgyver to me looks like he is ripped from the comic book honestly my wife agrees with me as well..

Personally he looks like Macgyver to me so I am excited like I said once The Night Manager is over (next week is the final episode) this becomes my number 1 entertainment thing I am looking forward too (in terms of Television/film)

Very exciting times my hope is a promo is released tonight

As other channels have release the trailers for their upcoming tv shows, I guess CBS will do the same thing with MacGyver. can we presume that ?


Prison Break looks good, 24:Legacy not so much IMO.

WHAT!

Oh my GOD, that's harsh Mr Duct Tape!

How did you not like the 24:Legacy promo. It was 24 at it's pure best! Corey Hawkins plays an excellent lead role.

...and Bauer wasn't even missed !

The same will probably be said when we see Lucas as MacGyver in promo.

Three cheers to Casting, They tend to be spot on nowadays !

I agree, MacsJeep.

Definitely not the "MacGyver" type of guy.

Here is my last and final mock up... I wanted to take the iconic MacGyver image of the 80's, and give it a modern-day take.
Hope that CBS do something similar like this, when it eventually airs?

They have him listed on Wiki @ 5'10" x 134lbs. That's very slight for such a physical position
in MacGyver as we have come to know it. Brains can alleviate much of the needed
brawn, no doubt, and you don't need a Hulk Hogan like physique .... but not a Peewee
Herman like one either.

I had a similar thought myself,

But to be honest Joe SAKic,

It has never effected Tom Cruise playing the lead in any of his action movies. He is only 5' 7", but on Camera he looks way taller.

It's not that it doesn't have Jack Bauer, I just don't feel that Corey Hawkins is leading man material.

Cruise was/is an athlete and didn't shy away from the gym though. True, you can 'macgyver' the lack of height thing pretty easily these days ,,,,,

Loved that article, Joe SAKic !

Shrugs he won't appeal to everyone I suppose but like I said I think it works and so far I like what I see but perhaps I am easily pleased case in point I am seeing Leathel Weapon this fall.

Lethal Weapon, looks very witty and action packed !

Certainly one to watch !

I'm definitely much more excited about "Prison Break" and "24," than I am about "MacGyver."

I said it before-- At this point, I'm mainly just "curious" about MacGyver, and trying to remain optimistic. Hopefully I'll see something that makes me genuinely excited for it.

I like a bit scruffy; but for me it doesn't work on Lucas.

Also not the long haired look (think he looks better with short hair) - especially because the Reboot is placed in our timeline. Do guys in their midtwenties even wear long hair anymore? I'm kinda out of the loop

Well, I guess I won't have any crush on Lucas as MacGyver as I had on RDA back then - what a relief; Lucas is way to young for me

Miasma,

I don't get time to watch TV, because I'm generally making it.

So when I do, I have to be selective.

If I have MacGyver, Lethal Weapon, 24, and Prison Break. That's good enough for me.

An hour and a half till CBS's presentation can't wait

I have a feeling we'll see a teaser. really hope so


Fox released a bunch of trailers for their upcoming series, so maybe CBS will follow that route.

A new pic was just released and people are already raving about MacGyver's hairdo... the reactions are hilarious

I like this response, though:

Eric Goldman@TheEricGoldman
MacGyver 2016 has no time for haircuts! He’s gotta make a thing out of a thing!

CBS created an official MacGyver Twitter-Account with an interesting header: https://twitter.com/MacGyverCBS
