George Lazenby modelled before Bond. If it's good enough for George it's good enough for this bloke er woman. ;)) She has some acting credits on IMDB. She is Danish but some vocal coaching can bring out the British accent. And look at that jawline. Daniel Craig is jealous. :D
=)) Room for 1 more?!!! :))

But I do like Theo James, as he's a bit new gen, but he's got the intensity and has been doing period pieces as well, which IMO showcase his range as an actor.
None, so far, and IMO, have the star factor that Craig has, though.
There were reports in the press of him "landing the role" a few years ago.
Well that's a very easy prediction since only one out of countless candidate will be chosen.
I predict that Brad Pitt will not win an Oscar this year.
You won't be it, that we can all agree on a million %
Here are my favourites so far
Probably a bit young looking atm but you never know.
If people want to convince us that this guy can be Bond ,don’t compare him to Craig like this ,it’s a man vs boy situation and Dan ain’t the boy.
Spot. On.
Quite frankly Daniel still looks like a 55 year old KGB/FSB agent. To each their own.
Theo James is in the same box. Looks good, but not a serious OO7 contender.
I'm not thinking about who should be the next James Bond at this stage, as NTTD has another six to seven months until release.
I'm kind of hoping we get another actor out of left field ala Craig. Someone who maybe hasn't been mentioned, but fits the role well. A big ask of course.
Considering the amount of people mentioned, and the acting talent Craig has displayed, I think that might be an unsurmounteable task. However, indeed, it would be cool. I'm not very confident of any actor mentioned, including the ones I came up with. Some I really don't want to see as Bond, but a negative choice doesn't help anyone at all.
Ha! Good one.
I think and other would agree with this, although some can't stand Craig and would gladly see the back of him.
The thing I see in DC is that he confidently up till SPECTRE played the role with such ease and to the point that some think he's slumming it.
DC doesn't do in your face acting, although both Logan Lucky and it appears Knives Out showcase a very different Daniel Craig. Although as Bond it is about subtlety, the less said, DC's acting is in the eyes a lot of the time and I think some miss this.
CR and QOS in particular show a type of acting never seen in Bond before, the idea that Bond is cold and shut off, it's something that he likes give the idea of.
Take for instance the scene when Bond is staring at Solange and M says he doesn't care he agrees but the eyes and the body language say different.
Also in QOS after the credits when Bond brings White in and M tries to get him to open up about Vesper he shuts her down but again the eyes and body language say something different.
Some of us don't really care about this and want are wise cracking debonair spy back with no chinks in the armour, although for a selection of us going back to a Teflon Bond will be quite a wrench.
A selection of us have thoroughly enjoyed that aspect, either the next Bond will totally go against that or this element of Bond will have been so much a trait of this period that the next Bond will want the role to explore the psyche of Bond more.
If we don't get an actor on the same level as DC and that is attempted it could look quite uncomfortable.
We've only had 2 Bond's go down this route Dalton and now Craig, I would argue DC more confidently, although if there is a shift and we go back to the lighter more surface type Bond that is just going on a mission and we don't need to know about his psychology I don't think the likes of Turner would want to play it that way.
I'm thinking what Dalton introduced and DC then refined even more is not likely to disappear.
There might be a shift back to the lighter times with an actor not so experienced but I don't think the next guy will be that, I guess we'll see.
I think that as long as BB is in charge we'll get Craig type Bonds/movies, which is why I think O'Connell (or someone like him but taller because I can't be arsed to have that debate again) is a more realistic prediction than some of the pretty boy types that have been suggested. It'll be another edgy choice, someone a bit dangerous looking with a bit of indie cred imo. Even in the Brosnan era when she was finding her feet, you can see what they went for with Craig beginning to form. More personal stories, arthouse directors, etc. It took them a few years to get there but I think with CR Barbara finally found the sort of Bond films she wanted to make, and the next actor will be another reflection of that. Brosnan was Cubby's choice and she never seemed that happy with him (he's said in interviews that they never listened to his suggestions, never invited him out to dinner, it seemed a lot less personal, like he really was just an actor they hired).
Maybe when she eventually retires we'll get another more traditional type in lighter adventure films. But as long as Barbara is in charge I think the tone of SF/SP is as light as the films will get, and Bond will always be played by someone with certain similarities to Craig.
Dalton actually played Bond perfectly. With a huge dose of Fleming, but with the EON Bond thrown in for good measure. Too bad he wasn't accepted. He was a great Bond. Before his own time I guess. I hope the trend of an actor who can inhibit the character of Bond like Craig does continues, instead of a playboy who looks good in a tux.
In my mind, all the actors who have played Bond have been brilliant. Bringing something too the role, all of them at the right time. For that as fans I think we can consider ourselves very fortunate.
I've enjoyed the Batman films since 1989, but not all of the actors to take on the role have fit.
Bond is the truly unique character within the film industry. I'm hopeful that when Daniel Craig officially steps down, the next actor can step up to the mark. It's some big shoes to fill.
