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...[img] ?nodefault=true[/img]

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?

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?

Barry Chuckle?

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

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.

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 [s]superiority[/s]equality/feminist types on STW this morning? ๐Ÿ˜€

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.

Oops, forgot that in my earlier all-inclusive pc Bond description:

Hard financial times, you could do away with employing female actresses and Bond could make love to the bad guys as well as fighting them.

Bale would be good... R Patz.

Oh the ironing!

However, Bell would be perfect IMHO.

You sure wouldn't expect wiggo was about to snap your neck with a moore style karate chop with appropriate roger moore chop sound, that's for sure.

He's unassuming.. and has the wiry build of the original Bond.

You could be onto a winner here!

Tom Hardy?

Tom Hardy has a psychopathic squaddy look/demeanor going on but he's not really officer material is he?

Clive Owen would get me vote

A bit old , but very good call!
Though he died just recently.

I though Tom Hardy did ok as "a bit posh and a bit bookish" in 'A for Andromeda' and Insheeption. But he is too chunky-looking.

Guy Pearce has been my favourite suggestion on here so far.

(And then you could shoehorn Alan Dale in as some long-in-the-tooth civil servant/official type. And Stefan Dennis as the crap comedy villain who gets it in the opening bit before the theme tune. ๐Ÿ˜† )
