I reckon Craig has got one more film left in him.

So who would you like to see playing the role next?


My outside bet is Charles Hanson

I could definitely see that working, Michael Fassbender would probably be in with a shout as well, he seems to be suggested for most major roles at the moment.

Yeah, I think Idris has been rumoured for a while and said he'd do it. Michael Fassbender, blimey I just looked at IMDB; he's in everything at the moment!

Really interesting wiki article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_actors_consid...

But I'll go with Tom Hardy.

I would enjoy that, a more cerebral Bond...until he snaps shoot
Or he could be the really brutal villian.

Which Charles Hanson, the Auctioneer? Looks more like a Q than a Bond smile

Idris Elba, Tom Hardy? All we need is Gerard Butler (could possibly be a good Bond IMO) and you've got Guy Ritchie's Rock 'n' Rolla...

No matter who it is there will always be complaints about the choice.

I thought Brosnan was a very good choice let down by crap scripts, and Lewis Collins would have been a good pick (at the time) - all IMO of course.

Henry Cavill (the new Superman) made the final 2 with DC last time out but it was decided he was too young apparently.

Got to be a favourite I would have thought?

I like Idris a lot, but he's only 3-4 years younger than DC, but if anything he looks a little older.

I like Tom Hardy too, but he played 'a swell' in Layer Cake, but not very Bond esq, can't see it.

I'd put my money on Fassbender to play a Roger Moore style bond or Tom Hiddlesone wink

I would have thought so
Unless he is to busy with any potential Man of Steel sequel or the proposed Justice League movie

Lewis Collins would have been the best Bond back in the day, as for the next one, Gerard Butler would be a good bet in light of the latest Skyfall offering. Other than that Tom Hardy

Clive Owen should have been Bond instead of Craig. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems his career has tailed off a bit recently though.

Elba is too old when it comes up

Don't think it will be butler , too big for the role now .

Would have liked to have seen Dougray Scott but he's too old as well

I think it might be Colin Farrell but I think he might end up doing a another series ( I think he would make a decent Bruce Wayne/ Batman )

I don't think Tom Hardy is right for the role - not enough of a pretty boy for Bond

Idris would be good but Craig is contracted for 2 more films so it is likely to be at least 5 years before a film with a new bond is out and would be too old.

Im available though.
