Only as the villain

Sam Heughan, not well know unless you have watched "Outlander"

 

Great Scottish actor, a year ago he was not even in the betting, now he is third fav, James Norton being the favourite

 

Liev Schreiber could do.

Apparently there's a "twist" in the latest Bond film that has a lot of people unhappy. Brit Ekland (Mary Goodnight in Man With the Golden Gun) claims the twist "ruins the fantasy".

(Bond becomes a "Family Man".)

Not sure why they put Gillian Anderson in that poll. Maybe 10+ years ago when she was younger (hotter) and still riding her X-Files fame, but now ? Not who I'd think of as a "suave, sophisticated, athletic, womanizing super spy".

Especially not in the current "you have to out-Bourne Jason Bourne" era of movies (Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, Matt Damon in the Bourne series, Jason Statham in the Mechanic and Fast & Furious series for example). 
I can't see Anderson being able to compete against them. Not too mention, probably not many want to see a sleazy woman sleeping with every handsome stud she encounters.

Surprised Jason Statham wasn't on the list of possible Bonds. He dresses up nice and is just as athletic as Craig (maybe more so in fact). Might not have the right "demeanour" for the role though.

Henry Cavill is another decent possibility. He dresses up nice as well and was OK in the latest Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie (as well as being the bad guy in the last Mission Impossible and being the latest Superman of course).
Can't be worse than Moore was in the role at least (the "Clown" Bond). Or Lazenby (the "Forgotten" Bond). Or Dalton (the "Angry" Bond).

Idris Elba would also make a great Bond and would keep the "PC" crowd happy. (For 2 hours or however long the movie is. Then they'd go back to finding fault with everything else in the world again.)

 

Quote

Who should replace Daniel Craig as James Bond?

Don't care. But the next Bond Girl is gonna be a ladyboy. Opening sequence:

Ladyboy snatches a thug's gold necklace while hammering a stiletto heel in his brain. Witnessed by Bond who promptly falls in love. dowderodo, dodododowderodo...

I read the Radio Times article and the only name I recognised was Gillian Anderson from the X-files.

 

Ian Fleming must be spinning in his grave about how the latest films have little to do with the original stories.

 

For me the best James Bond actor is a toss up between Sean Connery and Roger Moore.

That because you are old

Nailed it. Promo attached!!

Two viable options;

1. Dev Patel - Dashing  good looks, very English, black belt in a martial art, fits the  lean muscular physical requirement, very good with the public and offers an entry into  gaining access to the SE Asian market.  Bond films have historically been western market  targeted.  Patel would bring in new fans.

 

2. Nicholas Hoult - Same characteristics as  Dev Patel except he would be in the tradition of  Bond white males.

 

 

No one. Daniel Craig was brilliant as Bond and i can't think of anyone right now that is worth the role. ON a personal note really there aren't too many actors at all that impress me

Very true. I am old (76) and picky about what I watch and listen too. Most of the movies nowadays relt more on special effects rather than good plots and good acting.

Highest grossing figures doesn't means all that much when you compare prices from then and now. If you compare the cost to produce the early Bond films and compare it to todys prices you can understand why they need big numbers to get ROI.

Justin Blubber

Christian Bale or Mark Strong
