Hope so. They're both suitable.
Charlize was born to play a villain in Bond. Though, her casting would be almost as obvious as Christoph Waltz's. I have my heart set on Rami Malek and Luputa Nyongo for Bond 25.
Hopefully post-Oscars, we get a few more stories. Perhaps even we can sub Malek if he's too busy and get Mahershala Ali? He's a fabulous actor.
Not sure if I´d be too keen on Sharlize Theron. I adore her, but she would be so obvious. On the other Hand, she could easily Play triplets, one being the Bond Girl, one the villain, and the third Maybe Q´s assistant ;-).
Or she can play the villain, Danny DeVito can portray the Bond Girl and Arnold Schwarzenegger can be Q's assistant. All 3 being triplets, of course.
I always wanted Bruno Ganz to play a sinister mastermind of a big criminal organization (other than Spectre) in a Bond film, but sadly this is now impossible.
A couple of years ago he would have been great. In the case of Malik I fear they are going to the flavour of the month, even more so than Waltz.
Save Malek for a later installment, I say.
I agree
Craig's Bond has been to Austria twice, and three times to Italy. If the rumours about Matera are true, it will be Italy for the fourth time for Craig's Bond. If they would want to have Austria, why don't they shoot there?
Elliot Carver wasn't. Nor Drax. Or Stromberg. That's why they have henchmen.
One good piece of advice in a recent Bond article in GQ was, "don't make the next one about computers!"
We've had a couple villains now with vague "tech" schemes that, however sweeping, don't really produce much menace on screen. People clacking at keyboards is very hard to make compelling, and when you have all these mighty powers at a keystroke it all seems a bit too easy to be dramatic.
Give us a villain with more tangible plans, I say.

Nope. If he's cast they better have a big henchman for him.
I hope you are right.
I agree. Beside hackers in fiction tend to have quasi deus ex machina powers that tend to make them boring quickly.
So much we don't know. Can't wait! :)
