Huston & Barnes are good choices.

Goode is too old & Hiddleston is too famous.

I think Sam Riley is good choice aswell...

I'm not convinced age is as much of a factor as looks. By looks I mean looking young. It amazing how much younger Roger Moore looked in Live and Let Die than Connery and Moore is 3 years older. Wouldn't shock me a bit if someone around Craig's current age was cast.

TOP 5

Rupert Friend (1981)
Aidan Turner (1983)
Dan Stevens (1982)
Tom Cullen (1985)
Sam Riley (1980)

Why cast almost 50 years old, when you can cast 10 younger...

Sam Riley didnt think of him. Id expect hed need to change his look a lot gain weight tan but he has Bond features.

I dont disagree about the age but Im not sure it would be a sticking point with Bond producers.

Age between 35-40 would be ideal.

Colin O'Donahue
Tom Ellis (age?)

Chris Hemsworth for Bond 7? He can pull off a good english accent as well as heard in the Thor movies.

Hemsworth would fall in the to famous category but if that wasnt an issue Id have Cavill and Fassenbender ahead of him but hed still be a solid choice.

Thor rules him out.

O'donahue is good choice, ellis is little too old.

Whilst I don't normally agree with your belief that the next Bond has to be a virtual unknown, I tend to agree in the case of Marvel stars due to their model of elaborate 10-year plans and characters appearing in each others' movies and TV shows. He'd need to be free to appear in an episode of Agents of SHIELD whenever Kevin Feige snapped his fingers.

BOND #7 wouldnt be shock for us, we have mentioned him here.

Remember Barbara Broccoli is choosing Bond and she chose Craig. So would she have another unconventional looking actor - such as someone who looks like Steve Buscimi for example - as Bond?

Is that five in no particular order or is that how you rank them in order of preferance? Also, how'd you rank those five based on the James Bond look alone? Id rank them based on looks alone

1.) Tie Turner and Cullen. They look alike to me can't rank one over the other.
3.) Friend. Maybe it's the black hair but I got him next
4.) Dan Stevens
5.) Riley-outta those mentioned he's the one that needs the most work tan workout etc..

After some consideration, I have decided to list my top 5. This is purely my personal preference, I haven't taken into account whether they would be available, want the job etc.

1. Henry Cavill
2. Michael Fassbender
3. Christian Bale
4. Aidan Turner
5. Damien Moloney
