    Not a bad shout but a little too short (IMO)

    Also, he's already 41 so will be mid/late forties by the time DC hangs up his PPK.

    DC's actual height is always debatable. I would say he's actually a smidgen under 5'11. And yes, I think too short. Bond should be 6'1" . Just my opinion.

    Some Labour MP's wouldn't like these " Posh" boys playing Bond. :))

    no way he's just smidgen under 5'11, ive seen him multiple times in person and hes like 5'9, even in SF its obvious.

    Benedict Cumberbatch is certainly a possibility...but perhaps he's too famous now.

    By the time Daniel Craig's contract is up Benedict Cumberbatch will be the wrong side of forty. He has previously been rumoured to play the villain, that is a more realistic possibility, IMO.

    I'd love to see him as a Villain. -{ , he has a great voice for those " Evil" lines. ;)

    He's not one of my favourites, but I've heard much worse suggestions than Anrew Lincon.

    Yes, I'd imagine you're right in that regard. :) -{

    Cumberbatch played a rather interesting Villain in the recent Star Trek Film, so he could transfer that Performance to a Bond Villain -{

    Not a bad suggestion at all. He's great in The Walking Dead, currently my favorite television show.

    Ugh, no. Andrew Lincoln is one of a slew of bird-faced actors who've descended upon the movies lately. If you put him, Bradley Cooper, Edward Norton, and Sean Penn in the same room, I'd think I'd been drinking and am seeing four of the same person.

    I like Cumberbatch as Sherlock, but as I now have proudly on my FB page, he looks too much like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead to be taken seriously as Bond. He was, however, my choice for Q.

    Bond has to be less generic and more unique. If they want to go back to dark hair and features, which I believe they will, that's fine, but there are better personalities to be under consideration. If they want to continue the Craig timeline, Dominic West might be a good "out of . . ." choice, though he's not someone I'm necessarily advocating.

    Here is a left field suggestion, mainly because he's Danish. If he was British he would have been an obvious contender:

    Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

    Got a bit of Viggo Mortensen about him in that pic (who btw I always thought had certain Bond credentials)

    Nikolaj Coster-Waldau actually plays a villan in the Movie the photo is taken from - "Headhunters". Empire Awards awarded the move "Thriller of the year" in 2013. Director Morten Tyldum ("The Intimidation Game") was approached to do SPECTRE before Mendes agreed to do it.

    I have said for years that Viggo Mortensen would make a good villan.

    I am afraid Craig kind of spoiled me a bit. I was one of those guys who was utterly shocked when he was chosen but thankfully reserved judgment until I saw his performance on the screen. Even though he didn't fit our initial thoughts of what Bond should look like, his appearance has grown on me for the role. His pout, his silhouette. His face is interesting and stands out. Part of me hopes they stick to someone interesting next time around and not just a pretty face.
