Poll: Your choice for next the next 007

Post by Goldeneye »

A lot of good names have been suggested in this forum for Bond alternatives.

Regardless of your opinion of Daniel Craig who would be your choice for the next Bond?
All names in our poll were either contenders for the role or have had their names thrown into the hat by Bond fans.


We will add more names as they are suggested.

Christian Bale, although that is most likely not gonna happen. I can't see the rest get consideration, they're all either too baby face looking (Cavill) or will be too old by the end of Craig's tenure (Owen).

Besides, I really wouldn't even focus on who will the next Bond this early, esspecially since someone else we don't know now might pop up in five to nine years and get the role.

I voted for Bale, even though it ain't gonna happen (I think it'll be one of the other candidates from the previous screen test, namely Worthington or Cavill). I backed Purefoy for CR, but he will be too old by the time Daniel Craig finishes his run. I was converted to the Bale camp by the photo of him that someone posted here next to Ian Fleming's conceptual sketch of Bond.

I going to vote for Butler. I've seen alot I like about him recently. Bale is a close second. I don't think Owen was ever really interested.
Karl Urban is a interesting actor, I didn' realize he was in Broune 2 and the Two Towers.
Sam Worthington had the job at one point, i think :?

We don't know how long Craig will stay, he's already got itchy feet. You never know there may be a producer someplace with a diabolical plan to steal Craig away and get the publicity for it.

What about Jason Isaacs as Bond, he kind of reminds me of Dalton, we know he can do villany well but i dont think i have ever seen him as an out and out good guy, he looks the part too : :)

Interesting choice, one which wouldn't have occurred to me. I think he could pull it off, he has a chameleon quality to him. He was unrecognisable in his dual role in Peter Pan from his turn as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films.

Yeah my wife thought he was exactly how he was described in the Harry Potter books terrific actor, looking at the artists impression of Bond he slightly resembles Issacs. What do you think Kristatos? :)

Incedently Kristatos he plays a James Bond type character in the Jackie Chan film The Tuxedo. The film is one of Jackies lesser films but isaacs is quite good in a small part.

Give Cavill a go. Although he may be too big for Bond soon.

My vote is for Bale but I can't see him jumping from one franchise to another. Now that Babara is in charge I dread to think who is next!

My vote was for Bale too. Like everyone else said I can't see him getting the role as Babs will probably go for.......

I remember seeing James Bond in a Batman Movie... Batman Begins & the Black Night? Dark Night?

******************************
Bale Bond. Christian Bale.

But with Craig as EON's standard for choosing an actor for Bond. Patrick Kilpatrick is a top candidate.

:007:

You probably will remember him as a prominent villain in generic action movies during the 90's.
James Bond: NOT just another action hero.

I think O'Mara has the best look of those three, but sadly, I don't think he's a very good actor. I consider him the weakest link in the American version of Life on Mars, which I generally liked and which otherwise had a very good cast. He's no John Simm (not that I would consider Simm as a potential Bond for a minute, I just mean that he's a much more interesting actor to watch).
