Easily the best replacement for Dan when the time comes IMO - and the right age - to cut in when he's early 40's

    Tom hardy, good actor, not good Bond.
    Nolan perfect director, for anything... so:

    RC7 is correct. Hardy is even shorter than Craig.

    Nolan won't direct so that's this one out the way.

    Well, I'm betting that if Nolan takes over Bond, we'll get one every four years while he makes a half dozen other movies in between, we'll only get three movies, they'll all be two-and-a-half hours long, Q will be played by Morgan Freeman with M being either Gary Oldman or Michael Caine. In fact, I bet this'll be the future cast of the Nolan Bond Trilogy:

    James Bond TOM HARDY
    M MICHAEL CAINE or GARY OLDMAN
    Q MORGAN FREEMAN
    Moneypenny MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL or KATIE HOLMES
    Villain 1 LIAM NEESON
    Villain 2 AARON ECKHART
    Villain 3 CHRISTIAN BALE

    Villain 3 is Christian Bale because Tom Hardy is Bond. It's a switch up. It'll be filmed primarily in Chicago, the gadgets will at least be realistic, the bad guys will want nothing more than take over whatever version of London exists in Chicago (which, I guarantee you, has an El Train that leads directly to the city's water supply)

    Hardy's lips are so not Bond. Sorry but Hardy doesn't look a thing like Bond... too rugged, more so than Craig. And he's small.

    ^ I was going to say the complete opposite about Hardy, that he comes of as fey, and that I have trouble seeing this fella walk out of a fight (rather than crawl).

    If nolan were to direct, EON would probably force him to finally use a second unit.

    I like hardy though can't see him as bond, a bond villain yes. I suspect Nolan will direct a bond movie at some point, his movie's are full of bond references.

    Force him to use a second unit? He'd probably give up half his salary just to keep his habit of only one unit.

    I can see hardy as bond, but I care more about nolan directing than him starring.

    According to IMDB, Craig and Hardy are the same height.

    The computer says....Yes! Hardy would have to loose some body-builer muscles and gain some swimmer muscles instead. Then he should stop looking overly cool (a problem with Craig too). When those assignments are done (which I think they could be as my impressions of Hardy is that he is a good actor, just like Craig) it is all downhill. Regarding Nolan there is not even an question mark. That guy is in my opinion the most talented director since...well, maybe the most talented ever. And he would hopefully (I think he would) show respect to the Bond franchise and keeping the good bits. Maybe back to basics and books.

    I think Hardy's a really good actor, especially in Warrior.

    But as Bond? Nah, not sure about that.

    Hardy as Bond is an interesting suggestion, however I am not sure he looks right for the part.

    Daniel Craig is not done yet and I for one am glad for that. Love his version of 007.

    Christopher Nolan directing bond....YES PLEASE!!! That would be F A B U L O U S! That would be one hell of an anticipated Bond film.

    With this beard, I will let him be Bond any day! Make it a period piece... starring the 1875 James Bond.

    Really pressed for time but I remember debating about this Hardy character before, and bottom line is I don't think he's suitable. I saw him once in that Bronson release, and then there was talk about having him as a future Bond candidate?, I thought automatically, No thank you. Ok he may well have put on some weight for that particular role but he looked like three Daniel Craigs in one person, and I took an instant dislike to the very idea

    Furthermore, and seeing as the inevitable Bond Beards comes to the fore once again, I must state I have recently shaved off a full beard, well someone did mention Beards again.. But Hardy as 007?, No, I hope it never sees the light of day

    I know it's mean but that picture looks as if someone pasted a random mismatching haircut and beard onto Hardy. LOL!

    =))

    The look doesn't really suit him in my opinion.

    Oh yeah! I'm going for the Brosnan beard, as seen during the opening of DAD, myself. ;-) The girlfriend doesn't like it very much though but now... NOW I can show her this picture! I swear, beards are so back in vogue! ;-)

    Y'see, I wanted to do a "A Few Good Men" thing and be Jack Nicholson shouting "You can't handle the beard!" but I couldn't think of a proper set up.

    Nolan would be great but Hardy... has the look (minus the beard) but doesn't have the personality.

    Idris elbra should be the next bond, but hardy would be good enough. I would love to see noan direct though.
