The next Bond? Please don't throw things at me...

in General James Bond Chat
The wife and I were watching Skyfall last night and we talked about who will be the next Bond. Seeing as how Craig has a contract for 2 or 3 more Bond films, we came to the conclusion that Daniel Radcliffe could easily step into the role.

I'm not crazy about how how tall he is, 5'5", however he's a very good actor, he's English and I really believe he will appeal to a broad audience..

..and....in six years or so, he will be in his early 30s and could move into this type of film...

I'm putting on my flame retardant underwear as we speak... :D

    Perfect!

    He has the scar, albeit on his head instead of his cheek.
    He has a ready-made Moneypenny, Q and M, no need to recruit more talent.
    He could have been expelled from Hogwarts rather than Eton, for some misdemeanour with a housemaid (or Dobby).
    His family crest could include snitches instead of Bezants.
    He has a flying car, surely the next gadget for Q to develop after the invisible one...

    Suggesting Radcliffe for Bond qualifies for an immediate and lifetime ban :D

    The next Bond? No!! Far too young. A Future Bond, perhaps.

    Personally I prefer to enjoy the Bond's we have, while they are Bond. Until he (or the producers) decide otherwise, Daniel Craig IS James Bond.

    I like Radcliffe, he's a good actor. But he's already Harry Potter and is way too short for Bond, Daniel Craig is short enough already.

    Did you say "mods" or "meds"?
    I forgot to say I was drinking...

    ...but if not Mr Potter, the who? I'm absolutely against an American being Bond, or even a Canadian,,he must be from the UK.

    It's his voice that's the deal breaker. He still sounds like a kid. And okay his height. Actually I thought he was taller...

    Mind you, he could be a sort of Bond ally in a movie, the one who is dead meat. That would be good, complements Craig physically ie he's different but not much taller.

    Great idea! And how about Jennifer Saunders as M? (Seriously, where do people come up with these ideas???) :s

    ....I was thinking more on the lines of Justin Beiber. As a Candian singer brought up with a harsh life of hatred he could really portray Bond's inner demons and anger on the villains and people he would have to confront. He could pull off that suave factor of Bond's character so clearly seen in Fleming's novel. His bedroom scenes with the woman could flash back to the scenes with Connery in the 60's. His voice is also shows richness and power, I can picture him in a tuxedo saying 'Bond....James Bond.'
    His acting skills are top-notch and quite truthly I don't understand why they don't cast him for Bond 24 on the spot?

    Yes, and he could carry his monkey thingy on his back - the new Bubbles. He'd make a great hothead henchman. :))

    Wow. It took this for me to want Craig to stay. I guess EON could have found an actor who looked less like Flemings description. Thanks for helping me get some perspective, man. 8-)
    Beg your pardon, forgot to knock...
