Was that the film where he played a Russian?
Let's hope – if he get the role, that he doesn't portray an Eastern European character!
I often think he's at his best as an actor if he does not direct the movie and vice versa.
The platinum-blonde hair really reminds me of Rika from Kill Chain, and that's something I wouldn't mind an adaptation of.
This morning I have been thinking about how I'd love to see Sally Hawkins play a Bond Villain. It would be casting against type, but in a good way!
She also played opposite Daniel Craig in Layer Cake but I'd like to see her as the big boss of a sinister organisation!
Mark Strong, too. He's been the bad guy in almost everything -- might as well add Bond to the list.
Can't go wrong with these guys!
About McDowell, it might be a blessing as he often just gets a part for the money. By his own admission. For Mark Strong maybe because he played the bad guy in almost everything he won't play one in Bond. Too obvious I guess.
Good mention! Could be an interesting villain.
Waltz on the other hand was too predictable, and unquestionably his best performances by far to date have been in the two Tarantino flicks. So audiences inevitably would subconsciously associate his villain with Landa and expect him to be as memorable and iconic, which is an almost impossible task really.
In retrospect, it was a rather idiotic decision that all those people in positions of power should have been able to realize ahead of time. One which I hope they don't make again.
or Bobby Cannavale
He has a very 'Blofeld-esque' vibe to his face!
They would make great Spang brothers for B25 !!
He was also very good in a quite different role in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine (I highly recommend this film - Blanchett is amazing in it).
He's a very good actor.

The pic is from Boardwalk Empire
Yet a lot of villains in previous Bond movies were played by actors who were known as playing villains: Joseph Wiseman, Christopher Lee, Louis Jourdan, Robert Carlyle, Sean Bean, to name a few.
Agree. The performance in Boardwalk Empire was very memorable. Could make quite the villain - but should probably portray an American?
I find Chigurh to be a much better role than Silva.
She would, as the kids say, "slay it" as an intellectual villain. All she needs is her own Hinx.
