    Tom Hiddleston the next Bond?

    Daniel Craig says he's done playing 007.



    I think Tom Hiddleston is a terrific actor...and he's sought after nowadays.

    But he's kinda slight looking...he's sort of too nerdy for Bond to me...like a librarian/bookkeeper...






    What says the Megoheads here?

    I think he'd be an awesome Bond.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      no, I love him as an actor but he is not right for Bond. I would vote for either Tom Hardy or Henry Cavill to take over.

        Hardy would make a great Bond.

          ya know how Nolan and Bale ended up on Batman Begins?

          ...because they were both rejected for Casino Royale.

          Bond is still their favorite character, so I think we're watching a negotiation. Both would be available by MGM's timeframe.

          Jackman's also about to become wide open and Danjaq went after him for Casino, but his X-Men contract made it verboten.

          So that's where my money lies: Nolan with Bale or Jackman.

            Tom Hardy is only 5' 9"...terrific actor, one of my favorites...but way too short for Bond.

                Bale would make a more suave Bond, like Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. Jackman would be a tougher looking Bond, following in Sean Connery and Craig's footsteps.

                  He may look slight, but since no one will expect a slightly skinnier Bond, he'd be perfect for it.

                  Instead of a beefcake, we get a long distance runner type.

                  Pierce Brosnan wasn't all that built when he had the part, and he only stands at maybe 6 feet even.

                  And if it's bulk people want, he can always bulk up in the gym.

                    Henry Cavill is a great choice...but his Man from UNCLE flick bombed...and is reeling from Batman v Superman...I don't think he'll be in the running...

                      Henry Cavill is on record as wanting to play Bond. Hugh Jackman has also expressed interest in the part. Christian Bale is interesting idea. I like Tom Hiddleston but I'm not sure about him as Bond but I suspect he could surprise me. No thank you to Tom Hardy.

                      If and when we get a new James Bond I up they don't start again with an origin story.

                        agreed. I hope they continue the story line they have established with Craig.

                        how old is Jackman now? I would think too old to start in the franchise at this point. they will want someone they can use for at least a decade, if not 15 years. Bale might be out for the same reason

                          Bale, Jackman or Hiddleston could do it. Brosnan wasn't any bigger, and he worked.

                            And she's right. He'd be really good at it. I'd like to see a more suave and less "blunt instrument" Bond.

                              I notice in that article most of the speculation about Hiddleston was because he had a meeting with the producers. That's hardly proof he's going to the next Bond. Adam West and Lewis Collins both had meetings with the producers and I don't remember either of them playing the part.

                              I do think people like Jackman and Bale are probley out of the running due to their age.
