English Translation?

There has to be some loose English equivalent of this mood. The best I can think of:

“He will be so daring!”

even if it’s very archaic. Even then “would” would be much more acceptable. Any ideas?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the simple future and the perfect future to express surprise or rejection "

I can't see the exercise, but it sounds as if a US English speaker might say "I bet he's really daring". I think using "will" works here. I didn't have any idea what your sentence meant at first. We just don't use the future for conjuecture in the US. Although from old British movies, I can hear a door bell and someone saying, "oh, that will be John at the door."
