Daniel Craig/ James Bond Replacement

What's wrong with Hunnam? I'm really not familiar with his work. I've never watched a single episode of SOA. He is a Brit though. He is tall and attractive and can play an alpha. It's not like Bond calls for any serious acting chops. I agree with your picks other than Law. Fassbender is probably the most talented actor that has been suggested so far.
Bill Paxton is the kind of actor that makes you realize that you too could be an actor.

I wonder just how many have ever read any of the Bond books by Ian Flemming? Bond in the books is not what's is on the big screen.
I hate Hugh Grant, But with some Divine Brown stank on dat ass. I'm ok wid it.
I dont know. I never thought Tom Hardy, but that dude would be perfect. Guy is a hell of an actor.
Should have taken over as Batman instead of freaking Ben Affleck. Would have been perfect.
Yes. I saw both when they came out.
Have you seen his MySpace page that was recently unearthed? You'll get the ponce angle.

I've known things about his private life for a while. He can play an alpha male pretty well though.
Daniel Craig definitely rugged'd Bond up a bit. He was never meant to be a muscle bound action hero. I wouldn't mind the Bond series going back to what Ian Fleming intended him to be... But in the end, I just want to be freaking entertained.
What's your top 5 Bond Movies?
1) Goldfinger

5) GoldenEye

Just saw an article written yesterday that said right now the odds are 3/2 for Damian Lewis to be the next Bond.... Don't know much about him other than he is a ginger. He is followed by Idris Elba at 4/1, Henry Cavill 5/1 and Fassbender 7/1.
Probably right. Should just dig up Freddie Mercury's corpse, slug a Martini glass and a pearl necklace on it and be done with all this silly speculation.
After seeing Warrior, Bronson, The Dark Knight Rises and Inception, I don't care if the guy effs unicorns. He's a badass actor.
There was a bit of an uproar from some fans when Craig was announced, due to his blonde hair... now, a redhead might replace him.
After him, maybe it'll be a bald Bond? Dreadlocks? Mohawk?
I've read every novel, a dozen or so cultural histories and scholarly/philosophical breakdowns, have watched every film at least a dozen times - including listening to the audio track only at least twice for each film, and have my own podcast which you may enjoy if you like Bond:

I don't think I've seen a single show/movie that Damian Lewis has done. When his name was mentioned in this thread, I had to look him up.
Regardless, James Bond tends to spend a little time at the beach, now and then. If Lewis is the pick, they'll need Q to develop some special sunscreen and aloe vera concoctions.

Lol. And you haven't seen Band of Brothers? Also, first season of Homeland is pretty amazing.
I haven't had cable/dish TV service for the past 15+ years. Plus, those are on the "extra" channels, such as HBO... which I probably wouldn't have purchased. I'll have to give in at some point, since all of the UK games are going that direction.
Everyone I know that watches those 2 series gives them a big thumbs-up, though. I guess the guy must be doing something right, if he's getting serious consideration for the next 007.
Others have pointed it out but, while Elba seems like he'd fit the role almost perfectly, he'd be about as old for his FIRST film as Daniel Craig is in SPECTRE which may be his last film. Roger Moore was 46 at his first film, but I'd think they'd go with someone a bit younger.
^ would highly, highly recommend Band of Brothers. Homeland you can skip. Only issue with Lewis is his weird mouth thing. His pastiness fits in with the British Isles, so no issues there.
Sounds good. I'm going to take your advice... I just filed requests for the (6) BoB DVDs at the local library.
Hopefully, they'll all arrive in the next couple weeks, and I can binge-watch some of them during the Thanksgiving holiday stretch.
I just re-watched Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and "The German Band of Brothers," Generation War, over a two week stretch. They are all worth a watch.
I finally made it to Spectre and I hope this isn't Craig's last. I was disappointed and would like to see him do one more like Skyfall before going out. I didn't want to like him but I have to say he, by a nose, is my favorite Bond.
I'm ok with Elba. I like that Craig's bond is a bit edgier than the others and hope they keep the trend.

Good actor, but definitely not Bond.
If we can give Craig a pass on his gay roles/scenes, before becoming Bond...
I suppose this guy gets a break on wearing that dress.
I feel bad for saying this but I'll take the three Bourne films (Damon) over any James Bond film.
Another actor to consider is Cillian Murphy. Most people know him as the Scarecrow in the Dark Knight films, but after watching him in Peaky Blinders I think he might transition pretty well into the Bond role.
