Santa Claus, on the other hand is a character I firmly support in the beard department.
Perhaps the next actor should experiment and don a Santa beard during his opening gunbarrel sequence, just to see if it works? Maybe a Bond who wears a Santa beard will take off and become the next fashionable trend for the 2020's?
Stubble would be fine. Beard, no way.
I personally feel Chris Hemsworth would be a good shout though he may demand a bigger pay cheque and obviously has the Marvel link.
This is exactly how I feel too mate
On the stubble/beard thing, I hope Bond remains clean shaved unless the story warrants it.
Most guys have beards lately, it'll be cool to see Bond be different and remain clean shaved. He shouldn't have to heighten his masculinity with facial hair
Bond in disguise would be good. A stick on tash or beard haha, like in Octopussy when doubling for Colonel Toro. More cloak and daggers.
For me, a man Bond's age means one thing: hipster.
From those pics I see a perfect Dracula.
Is there any young actor who see some Henry Edwards in them.
I see a pretty good Simon Templar.
Joining the multitude of actors who propose themselves as the next Bond, is now Dwayne Johnson.
You see Roger in North Sea Hijack and think he's a hipster?! Okaaay :))
As an aside, I very much had THIS in mind when I bought the above suit, probably my favourite Bond outfit that isn't a tuxedo or business suit:

Roger was getting old then so no. Different times too. A man in his 30s with a big beard however? Yeah, the first thing that comes to my mind is hipster.
He was still Bond, ergo he was Bond’s age.
Yeah but he played Bond as a far more advanced age thar he would realistically have. If anything and that may be for the controversial opinion thread, but Ffolkes was a far more suited character for his age than Bond was at that time. And don't get me wrong: I'm glad he played Bond for FYEO and OP (I think AVTAK was one too many), but an operative and a womaniser of his age was stretching credibility nevertheless. And let's not forget that Moore played the anti-Bond in this movie. Two very different characters, two very different looks, even though they're played by the same actor. And on a side note, I would have loved to see Roger Moore as the old sea wolf Ffolkes for more than one movie.
He might not be the classic look for Bond, but he's a fantastic actor. Of all the roles I've seen him in, he never phones it in. Very committed to the part. His age could be getting the better of him, but he's not too old.
After Daniel Craig, he'd be a good follow up Bond.
Won't happen. 007 will have sex-appeal. Babs will only cast a leading man that gives her the, er, tingles...
That's a very narrow minded and silly view @AceHole
Quite juvenile.
I remember around the time of TTSS' release I read Carte Blanche and couldn't help but picture Bond looking like BC.
Thanks for the laugh. Perhaps Robin, next to Batman. Oh wait, scratch that.
That's quite the moral high ground...
To be perfectly serious - I don't actually think it's too far from the truth. Think about it, for a moment:
a) She was quite frank about her attraction to DC and I have no doubt that was part of the reason he was casted
b) her father, Cubby, asked his wife Dana before casting Connery if she thought he had sex-appeal - Cubby was adamant he needed a man that women lusted after otherwise the character would not work.
He could play Q perhaps. Q Cumberbatch.
Even as M, but in no way is he Bond.
I think he could do it, certainly: he's a strong leading man. I think there may be others better suited to it, I don't know if he has everything I'd want from Bond, but if he were to do a Bond film I don't think there would be a lack of a good lead to it.
I always liked how Sherlock started to link in more and more with the Bond films in subtle ways, with Mycroft indicating that M was a colleague of his at one point. There was a clue in an early episode which seemed to indicate that Bond was fictional in their world, but they seemed to move away from that.
How do you mean?
