...Off the top of my head!
I want Waltz back for Bond 25 but for the future, I've been championing Christopher Eccleston as a villain for god knows how long and I'd love to see Bryan Cranston or Giancarlo Esposito have a shot. If they wanted a big name then I could easily picture Leonardo Di Caprio as a charming media friendly billionaire/industralist type with hidden motives.
Regarding Winstone, I had his Edge of Darkness character in mind, and could picture him as the sort of villain you'd see in a gritty Craig Bond film, something akin to Royale and Quantum.
Cranston playing bad would just be bringing Heisenberg in to the Bond world. It's a little too obvious.
Eccleston is a fine actor, obviously linked to Da n from the days of Our Friends in the North. Played villain in Gone in 60 seconds.
Leo Di Caprio a little too fluffy for a Bond villain do you not think?
Hugo Weaving?
Michael Sheen?
Andrew Lincoln?
Lars Mikkelsen
Mikael Persbrandt
Kevin Spacey
Oscar Isaac
Joaquin Phoenix (as noted above)
Irrfan Khan
Looks like Wiseman as Dr No.
Not sure what you mean by fluffy but after seeing him knock it out of the park as a villain in Django, I'd love to see him in Bond. I can really picture him as a Zorin/Graves type, not just a wealthy business man but also a popular public figure, really charismatic and charming and all the rest of it. Maybe some sort of Zuckerberg type internet billionaire (not his personality, I mean just how he has his money) if they wanted to be current with it, but the last Bourne film kind of already went there.
I think Cranston would have felt obvious just after Breaking Bad ended but it's been almost five years now and he's done more than enough since to avoid being typecast as the bad guy imo. Besides, they already cast Christoph Waltz and Javier Bardem. Along with Mark Strong those are two of the most obvious choices for a villain I can think of, so I doubt EON really care about that. You're right that I basically want to see Heisenberg as a Bond villain but come on, wouldn't that be great?
Bring him back?
Yes as the main villain - as a different character to Dario. He's matured into a really fine actor since LTK.
Yeah he has a very sinister screen presence.
And Actor I like Ben Daniels who has been playing the priest in the Exorcist TV programs. He has a rather menacing look.
Dan's best mate. He's part of Kingsman's franchise now is he not?, I think he also did that spy spoof with Sacha Baron Cohen "The Brother's Grimsby".
I am a big advocate for Swinton to be in a Bond movie too!
