Craig was relatively known at the time, at least on par with Turner's name.
I would have to agree. Craig was, at least on some level, a known quantity. He'd already worked with some of the best directors out there (Mendes, Spielberg) and had a reputation as an excellent actor, even if at the time it was mainly in supporting roles. I don't think that Turner has, at this point in his career, the same kind of recognition that Craig did at the time he was courted for Bond. Not even close.
He also worked with Spielberg, as well as Woody Allen.
He had a big role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A multi billion dollar franchise.
Looking at it like any other job, Hiddleston would have simply more 'job expirience' and because of that would be more desirable than Turner, who i think will get there eventually but isn't yet. But that might be enough for Babs.
I would be fine either way, as i think both those guys would be a fine choice.
It all depends on the direction of the next movie.
Not that much in the general public though. He was a veteran actor who had been noticed in some roles, most of them secondary, he was not a star. In any case he was way further off the radar than, say, Clive Owen.
None of the reported contenders are all that iconically famous for specific roles anyway, unlike say Waltz was for Landa, so I'm sure they could very readily make the role of Bond their own and be believable as 007.
So both famous or unknown is fine with me.

Also I retracted my vote for Ewan- I hadn't realized until I put him with the rest of the list that he's older than everyone, and plus it just wasn't realistic. Put me down for Aidan Turner. He could be Dalton 2.0 if he plays his cards right!

and to make it interesting as a female 007:
Adrianne Palicki (provided they give her dark hair like she had in that Keanu Reeves movie. She was smoking kick ass hot. )
Typical people look at him and assume he's something instead of actually knowing his background.
I have a hunch that Turner has pulled out ahead in the Bond stakes. I'm only basing this on wild rumours (which I can't substantiate, of course - it's gossip more than anything else and should be treated as such) that Hiddlestone, for certain reasons, has slipped a bit recently.
But who knows? I'd be happy with either Turner or Hiddlestone. We are in the silly season at the moment.
I'm pretty much the same. I can live with Hiddleston, even though he's far from my first choice for the role, as I think he might bring something interesting to it. I can't say that I have any desire to see Turner take on the role, though.
can't se why @Suavejmf has a problem with Irish people ? but bigotry comes in
all forms I guess. :(
Because he has a clear Irish lint to his accent and I don't find his English accent convincing. That's all. He also looks foreign in some photos.
I guess he's out too. ;)
What passage/ novel did Fleming state this? No Fassbender doesn't look non British and his English accent is flawless so he's ok.
If it happens what do your blood and bones say about next week lotto numbers
pops out.
scottish accent, didn't bother you ? @-)
