nup.. I don’t believe that whole nukeproofriding conspiracy anyhoo..

I meant this guy

dougray scott would be decent
never thought about hugh jackman before but he could pull it off
gerard butler maybe?

elfin / mikeconner / nukeproofriding ?

What? Can someone please explain this? It’s making my brain hurt.

If history is anything to go by, they’ll already know.

When Connery finished for the second time they wanted Dalton, but he thought he was too young.

When Moore finished, they wanted Brosnan, but he was contracted to Remington Steele.

I reckon it’ll be whoever they actually wanted when they had to plump for Daniel Craig

;o)

How about Robert Downey Jr?

Sir Patrick Stewart please.

I would like them to cast someone that can act who we’ve never heard of

bloody celebs

How about Robert Downey Jr?

An American? No thanks

Tom Hardy?

I’d like to see Tom Hardy if it’s a hard Bond, or Michael Fassbender if it’s a bit more Roger Moore.

Hugh Jackman

NO!

and Tom Hardy doesn’t work for me.

I reckon Rufus Sewell would be ace, and my mate and I intend to campaign for it to be Lawrence Fox cos we think he’d be awesome.

In fact for RS just imagine this with some bondesque writing all over it, few guns etc…

Jamie Bell

Reckon Bale is a good call. Decent actor, right looks and has enough ‘edge’ to be a decent hard Bond.

(might also tie into the ‘one they really wanted but was contracted elsewhere’ theory?)

Dunno why there’s all this conjecture, there’s two more movies to go, at least, so that’s what, four-six years for script/filming/post-production at least, and Craig’s going to be filming both of them.
Perhaps everyone can reconvene in 2018 and put forward some ideas then…

I thought the next two bond films were going to be filmed back to back? Partly because Craig doesn’t think he can be convincing in 5 years time, bit like when you see the Dukes of Hazard reunion and the Dukes took about 5 minutes to slide across the bonnet of the General Lee!

I read the thread title and thought Bale as well, can’t think of anyone better suited.

+1 countzero, may as well wait to see who comes along a bit closer to the end date for DC (who has been an excellent Bond)
Would prefer to see a Brit if I’m honest rather than another US celeb type actor

Ok staying away from Americans. Paul Bettany?

To be Bond, the real Fleming Bond, he has to be rather ratty looking and not really remarkable to look at. Built of sinew, not muscle.

Bale? Could be. Clive Owen? He’s already turned it down. Rufus Sewell? Not sure.

I think it might be someone rather less well known. After all, until Layer Cake, no one had ever thought of Craig as Bond.

I like Bettany, not sure about him as Bond but he’s versatile

It will be Benedict Cumberbatch. He’ll have to eat a few pies beforehand and maybe go to the gym, or they could do all that with CGI?

Gotta be Ralf Little, surely?

What about his Dad Sid Little? (is not his Dad, but artistic licence(to kill)) Northern Bond, 2nd hand vectra, baddies from Fleetwood, sexy women from Wigan as Bond girls?

Whats not to like?

Built of sinew, not muscle

Barry Chuckle?

It would make the sex scenes more entertaining (to me, to you, to me)

Guy Pearce?

James Purefoy, was close to getting it the last twice, so maybe third time lucky.

There are some utterly horrible suggestions here: poor actors and people far too old when the post-DC films come along.

Bale would be good, but he’s already 4 years older than Craig. My vote would be Tom Hardy. Or out of left field: Andrew Garfield, Eddie Redmayne, Jamie Bell or R Patz.

R Patz????????? I know its late at night but its a school night! lay off the drink. He’s just a celeb with a dozy looking scruffy girlfriend.

😯 don’t post any of your other photos woody 😆

Iggy Pop

Vinny Jones

Cumberdick Bendybatch would make a better Bond Villain than actually being Bond. That ‘just about to sneeze’ expression won’t work for Bond.

Surprised nobody’s suggested a female lady-person for Bond. Are there no superiorityequality/feminist types on STW this morning? 😀

Ideally the 21st century Bond should represent the modern multicultural inclusive society, therefore we need Bond to be a pregnant black female muslim paralympian vegan immigrant.

Mathew Macfayden might work, if not too old.

Can we not have a Gay Bond as the next Bond.

Why not?

Otherwise..

June Whitfield.

Can we not have a Gay Bond as the next Bond.

Why not?

Er, more to the point: Why?
