Future Bond Villains

GaddGeneGadd

Just wanted to get some peoples opinions on their choice for actors to play future Bond Villains. I for one would love to see Alan Rickman play a " I want to rule the world " Bond baddie.

Chiffre

I am with on that one all the way. As stated in the forum "Who should be the head of Quantum", my opinion is that there is none better than Sean Connery.

Alan Rickman is far too evil to share the ruling of the world with others, so he should be on his own. But I won't cry my eyes out if he is picked for that part...-{

Well I'm sure casting for Bond 23 is pretty much done but I'm sure they'd love to hear your suggestions

I doubt we'll ever see another "I want to take over the world" villain, but I'd like to see perhaps........................

Antony Hopkins, ( mentioned for years, and his name pops up with each new Bond Movie )
Cillian Murphy,
Denzel Washington,
Lawrence Fishburn,
David Suchet.

I think any of these guys could give Bond a hard time.

Anthony would be ideal because then the Oedipus Complex can play out. Here's an article that explains in more detail what makes a good Bond film:

I'd love to see either Hugh Grant ( I think he's a better actor than the crap he normally does ) or Colin Firth as I think they'd relish the chance to do something out of character for them. :007)

Tokyo Matt

I always wondered what Ben Kingsley could do with the part.

Don't think Ghandi, think Sexy Beast.

That's about the only suggestion I can come up with off the top of my head. Not very good maybe, but I've been away and just fancy posting something.

I'm tired. Thunderpussy, write something funny about Kingsley, help wake me up.

Thunderpussy

To hear is to obey,

There once was an actor, Ben Kingsley,
who's " sexy beast" was really quite sleazy,
But for Tokyo Matt,
I'd give him a slap,
and as a villain I'd pay him quite Measily.

Ah, the limerick, the highest form of witt :v

Tokyo Matt

Ahhh, that's better.

Arigato Pussy San.

Now I know I am home..............

Just for once, I have been staying with the topic, Sir Miles ;%

He should be Bond23 villain and if possible shoot Dalton on screen

Napoleon Plural

Noah Taylor. I mean, he even played Hitler for goodness sake! Not too tall either. Highly versatile. You may recall him as the besuited creep from Vanilla Sky.

Idris Elba. That is all!

Hannibal_Smith

Malcolm McDowell. Jason Isaacs.

I actually could see Anthony Hopkins as M (once Dench retires) more than as a villain, but maybe that's just me.

Kissy Suzuki

Rupert Murdoch.

Hannibal_Smith

Addendum to my previous post:

I realize this has zero chance of happening, but could anyone but me ever picture Harrison Ford as a Bond villain? It's a crazy idea that just occurred to me after watching Cowboys & Aliens this afternoon. The man's been playing heroes for so long, let him knock himself out playing a bad guy.

Also,

Rupert Murdoch.

Done. Tomorrow Never Dies. Jonathan Pryce was much more entertaining than the real Murdoch, too.

Mini me from Austin Powers, he could be the evil henchman who towers over DC[ just joking Lexi just joking ].

I seriously hope you're joking..... ) (Northern humour perhaps.... )

Oooh, now there is a thought. I adore Jason Isaacs, although I always thought he would make a good Bond.... certainly the best looking villian we've had in a while... :x

I hope you are going to post a review in the 'last film seen' thread.... I'm really undecided with this movie... but I do make a point of watching DC's films.... but this one just doesn't appeal... however, a good review could change my mind

Thunderpussy

Might just have to check if there is a Blue moon to night, As I've always thought Jason Isaacs would of made a great Bond. -{
And yes, I think Colin Firth could play a real mean Bas***d, might relish the chance to play something different.

GaddGeneGadd

Lexi I always thought Jason Isaacs would make a good Bond as well. In fact DC as Bond is what I would have envisioned with Isaacs in the role before DC got the gig. Isaacs is quite versatile and we know he can play a real snide SOB so I could see him as a Bond villain as well. I thought he was great in brotherhood.

Sorry Hannibal, you misundertood me - I meant Rupert Murdoch, the actor. His most recent performance as a befuddled, harmless old pensioner is brilliant! )

I hope the producers decide to break with the "shrimp villain" trend that has been de rigeur since the Brosnan era. Let's have someone older, more virile, and more physically intimidating.

How about Vladimir Mashkov, for a good old-fashioned Russian heavy?



Or Sergi Lopez, if you're looking for a volatile bruiser...



Or Ciaran Hinds, for a Scaramanga type, or some sort of urbane mastermind. He'd be my choice for a rebooted Blofeld.



Or Frank Langella. He played a Bond villain in Frost/Nixon.



Forest Whitaker: physically imposing and psychologically off-kilter.

How about this guy? Old, intimidating, not sure about the virile part though. He is in the new Cowboys & Aliens and I think had a few scenes in Layer Cake and Munich:


Not the criminal mastermind type obviously, but could play a menacing henchman in the Jaws tradition, as I've heard he is huge.

) Funny, Very Funny, Rainier Wolfcastle )

Mr Martini

Not sure if I've mentioned him before or if someone else has mentioned him. I'd like to see Charles Dance be a villain in an upcoming Bond movie. Some people want an older villain and Charles seems to fit that mold:

Tom Selleck

Percy Sugden

I think the Bond films work better when an older actor is palying the Main villian, so i would go for John Hurt, Anthony Hopkins, Ben Kingsley or Ian Mckellen. But i would love to see a female as the main villian, and think Vanessa Redgrave or Glenn Close would be ideal.
