Credit to you for sticking to your guns @Denbigh mate, he wouldn't be in my top 3 but he's definitely worth a screentest
He would need a more rugged haircut.
I kinda like his hair in the Masters of the Air series he's doing with Cary Fukunaga.
I thought the same thing after watching him in The Tourist. But I didn't realise he's already forty, and we don't seem to any nearer getting the next film rolling, so I think he might be just a little too old. But who knows?

Yeah that's quite original.
I'd've thought so, yes!
:D
so are you an Aidan turner only type?
Nope, read back if you'd like. There's a couple on my list. I never liked Cavill as a potential Bond. Stiff as a plank and cannot really act.
its fine I am just curious to see who others want... Again if Eon came to me with a million dollars to Find the next Bond I dont think i would want the job as my knowledge of Unknonw actors is zilch So I am just curious
1) Tom Hughes
If anyone's seen The Game which was a BBC spy mini-series in 2014, you'll see what I mean. Hughes plays an enigmatic, rather Bondian character in it. I also know that Barbara Broccoli has seen this show and praised his performance, so it's very likely he'll get an audition. If he puts on a Southern English accent and bulks up a bit he's definitely in with a shot. Very accomplished and dedicated actor too, having seen him in other things as well as in interviews. Reminds me of Timothy Dalton in that sense.
2) Jack Bannon
I've only seen clips of Pennyworth but going from those the character he plays seems to have his Bondian moments. As with Hughes it's just a case of changing his accent and working out a bit.
3) Jack Lowden
Another great character actor. Has the acting chops and is in the right age range.
some time , along with Hoult
And my dark horse…
I've seen an interview with Tom Hughes, he does give off that intense and elusive vibe that Timothy had. Also Hughes was born in Chester as was Daniel
@talos7 good choices as well mate, but do you reckon Harry Styles has the acting chops to take on Bond. I've only seen him in Dunkirk.
I think Styles is a great actor and with the right haircut I could FIND Bond in his look, but I also think he's a wildly different actor than anything we'd have seen from Bond to this point.
Yeah, he really does. Surprised he's not been mentioned as much in all this - again, Broccoli definitely knows of him/has seen The Game. In fact there's a few articles saying he was being considered around 2016 (I mean, take it with any amount of salt you wish, the press aren't always reliable when it comes to these matters, but it's certainly more plausible than Idris Elba or Tom Hardy getting the role).

I mean, is there any reason he wouldn't at least be asked to audition? If I were a betting man I'd say he's a good actor to put money on.
