Sir Ben Kingsley in an ally or villain role. He may now be too old to play the main villain.
Simon Pegg as Q.
On-topic: Sir Ben Kingsley is a great actor. I know he likes to play villains and of course he's very good at it. I'd rather see him play an ally, because he has that slightly dark edge to him. A little bit like Alan Rickman. I could see Sir Ben play as either an M or the Defence Minister?
Simon Pegg's an interesting call. Not sure whether it would be too familiar for some audiences, seeing as he plays a Scotty in the new Trek franchise and a Tech guy for Cruise in the latest Mission Impossible films?
I don't know about Gerard Butler. He's another Jason Statham. I haven't seen Machinegun Preacher which looks interesting, so I shall have to give that a look and make my mind up.
I'd like to see Toby Kebbell involved somewhere. I saw him in The Veteran, a film with an interesting premise and a great central performance from Kebbell but let down in parts. I'm not sure whether I'd want to see him as a junior minion or a junior ally.
If Pegg played a tech guy in an MI film, then ignore my previous comment.
EDIT: Hell, even a henchman! What a memorable character he would make.

He's currently playing Elliot Spencer in "Leverage", where he spends most of his time being angry and hitting people. Not always in that order, though.
He can sing too. Bond's first singing villain??
colin firth as M
idris elbra as james bond
billie piper as moneypenny
christopher eccelston as blofeld
tom hardy as a henchman like jaws
Please no.
Just realized how amazing this would be. That duo playing around with Bond? The highlight of every movie.
Not condoning the suggestion of Statham, but current Bond isn't that different from Statham as Bond. Though Stathams action films are usually entertaining, well the Transporter films are.
I know he'd be similar to craig but I think he could pull it of. I'd rather see idris elbra though
exactly what I thought
Statham's films are miles more entertaining and fun than Craig's Bond films, but neither are appropriate for Bond.
I'd rather eat cardboard than watch any of the Transporter films.
I think it would have to be one or the other. Having both in the movie, with their strong chemistry, could detract from Bond's chemistry with Q.
No, I agree. God forbid Statham should get the role. And though I would like Bond to remain white, as far as black actors for Bond go, then I would choose Adrien Lester. In Hustle, he exhibits the qualities that Bond is currently lacking (charm, charisma, intelligence, presence).
