I think Barbara Broccoli might find someone like Stevens as a natural successor to Craig.
He's also got a link to James Bond so that might help his chances. ;) See below!

Yeah others on here including me have mentioned him. Have you seen The Guest? It's a great calling card role that shows how he might be good for certain aspects of Bond. He would probably be my top pick right now.
Indeed. He's already playing another iconic/blockbuster character, and another Ian Fleming-created spy. His Bond candidacy has ended.
Again, never say never
Bell is a good actor, agreed. But given he's a borderline midget, he has no chance of being 007 I'm afraid.
I know this an old quote ...and I haven't kept up with this thread as much but quick comment regarding accents. I think I recall that social linguists tell us that thanks to social media and the like that we are loosing our accents.
I dont know ...and as a side note Craig to me does not have a very strong accent. Brosnan has a slight Irish California thing going.
He's been very proactive in maintaining a neutral tone. It's not happened by chance.

Ah ok ...to me even in interviews. Also Craig's American accent in that forgettable alien movie ...can't remember the name but wasn't so hot. Should have just kept his own accent.
In other photos - when he was outside in the full glare of the sunshine - Connery looked older:
Connery's older looks were a major asset in giving his Bond a world-weary quality, the sexism of the character fitted a more mature face, however, looking older than your age is not considered an asset in the 21st century 'selfie' era! Connery's older than his years appearance is the very antithesis of our times. Indeed, you might struggle to find many 32 year old actors looking as mature as Connery did at that age. I blame face moisturizers! ;)
Moore on the other hand always looked a good 6-7 years younger than he was. You'd never had thought he was already pushing 50 in TSWLM.
Henry Cavill
Charlie Hunnam
Jamie Dornan
Christian Bale
Theo James
Who could have been a great Bond in the Past
Ralph Fiennes
Liam Neeson
Daniel Day Lewis
Brad Pitt( i know he is not british but if he could get the accent, he would be the Blond version of Pierce Brosnan)
Henry Cavill YES PLEASE
Charlie Hunnam NO, ONE BLOND BOND IS ENOUGH
Jamie Dornan I LIKE IT I LIKE IT
Christian Bale TOO OLD WAY TOO OLD
Theo James HE DID GOOD IN DIVERGENT BUT ALMOST TOO PRETTY

What about:
Chris Hemsworth, right age, right look
Liam Hemsworth, too young but would look the part as well
Dan Stevens, at the moment my desired candidate for Bond.
Cavill - Once again, can't and won't happen. Already playing an Ian Fleming created spy AND a competing action hero. FWIW, I feel he'd be OK, decent, competent, acceptable as Bond. But I don't want "OK".
Hunnam - I'd be into this. Big fan of SOA. Think he might be a bit too 'punk' for Bond, but who knows.
Dornan - Maybe. Very good as a sociopath on The Fall. 50 Shades probably didn't do him any favors.
Bale - Nah. He's done his Bond-like role. He'd never say yes anyway.
Theo James - Ehhh, haven't seen any of his work. Perhaps a bit too male model looking. Not much 'edge' there? Hmm, if he's 30 now, he's in that age zone EON might be looking at. I could see his name coming up in the media.
Dan Stevens, yes, absolutely, and I agree with you, he's also my top candidate. I'm kind of keeping my fingers crossed that he DOESN'T get any sort of action/superhero role in the next couple of years so he's still relatively under the radar for Bond consideration.
And now we're going to differ :D
Chris Hemsworth (didn't you just say one blonde Bond is enough? ;) )...in a realistic sense, already playing a blockbuster action hero, so he's automatically out. And Australian. I could be wrong, but I don't see EON hiring a non-Brit. And on another note...are you serious? This plank of wood? He did a sort of Bond-like role in Blackhat, and was absolutely terrible, and audiences said no in a big way. And now he's trying to move into comedy? Good grief. This guy will vanish fast as soon as his viking space hammer guy contract is up. Liam is slightly better but, still, ehh.
Uhh...so...Tom Hardy? :D
Tom Hardy would be my favourite by far but he is already 6 years too old.
The new Bond actor cannot be born before 1983.

Ok look at the Calvin Klein add on youtube charlie did, his hair is darker in it and he looks very Bond type.
He is clean shaven and looks great.
I love the idea of Chris Hemsworth as well but i think he is too famous for Bond no?

True, Chris Hemsworth seems unrealistic so does Henry Cavill after Batman vs Superman is released.
I hope for Dan Stevens... B-)
Charlie Hunnam I like too, I mean I could live with him as Bond but it ain't gonna happen.

Dan Stevens is not bad at all as For Cavill and Chris Hemsworth too bad someone else discovered them first they tottaly fit the Part of James Bond but i think Henry still has a small chance
