Bond 24 villian

James SuzukiJames Suzuki New ZealandPosts: 2,406MI6 Agent
Afraid of hijacking the Michael Fassbender thread, I decided to open a new one. Who do you reckon should be the next villian? Actors who come to mind are Ewan McGregor, Sir Christopher Lee (again because he's so Awesome) Michael Kitchen (who was Tanner, yes, but is still awesome), Benedict Cumberbacht, Ian Mcdiarmid and Anne Hathaway (now that will be awesome, a villainess like her and a DC Anne sex scene would be awesome. They could make her the head of Quantum!) Your thoughts?

    Anne Hathaway as a villan? That's creative thinking - I like it! Hataway is very beautiful, a good actress and as far as I know she hasn't played a villan before. I have wanted a female main villan for years.

    After seeing an episode of Person Of Interest with Julian Sands. I think Julian can make a decent villain. He played Alistair Wesley. It reminded me a lot of Simon Gruber from Die Hard with a Vengeance.

    He's definitely got the look!!
    If we're going to return to Quantam though, I want some resolution to Mr. White. He got off pretty likely in QoS

    James Purefoy makes a good villain in "The Following." And since he looks like James Bond, he won't be confused with Craig.

    Don't shoot me! I'm only joking.

    Wouldn't like McGregor to be a villain, as I've always seen him as a possible future 007.

    How about a Nazi/Fascist revivalist as a villain - like in an unexpected place lke Hungary - the Arrow Cross Movement revival for instance.

    Either William Fichtner or Benedict Cumberbatch would be awesome in my book! Although I reckon Benedict could pass for either a crazed villain or Bond himself! I may come out of fan-art retirement as I feel a fan poster coming on!

    his portrayal of Goebels was brilliant i have watched that film 5/6 times
    and he was so believable
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Charles Dance please.

    Christoph Waltz seems to fit the bill, at least as far as the last three film villains go: European, versatile, and critically acclaimed.

    Robert DeNiro we could only wish! I think actors of his caliber will never get into the Bond movies... He could easily fit the bill for an epic Mob boss in the world of today. You could already picture him being casted as a very powerfull well-known and feared Don of a crime family. In a scene where he steps out of his car with a long raincoat and a lot of bodyguards and people shaking hands with him, while Bond is lurking in the shadows overlooking it all realising he's up against a very powerful man. Haha - I'm drooling of here :))

    Laurence Fishburne is someone that could easily fit in the Bond univurse in my opinion. He could go for a villian, or an alie. It would all work well I think.

    Sir Anthony Hopkins would make a great Bond villain (he's been considered in the past, I believe), as would the bombastic loudmouth Brian Blessed. :)

    Mark Strong would make a great Bond villain, a modern Scaramanga type.

    Anne Hathaway would be awesome! Liked her has Catwoman, and loved the dynamic of the villainess in TWINE and the conflict it created in Bond. Worked well in the Gardner novel 'Never Send Flowers' with the villainess being Blofeld's Daughter, too. Also, has anyone considered Ioan Gruffudd or Julian McMahon?
    Beg your pardon, forgot to knock...

    Ernst Stavro Blofeld's daughter Nena Blofeld appeared in John Gardner's For Special Services, not Never Send Flowers, which starred David Dragonpol as an ex-actor turned serial killer. His sister Maeve Horton was also a villainous woman who tried to blow Princess Diana up with a hand grenade, but a femme fatale she most certainly was not. :)

    Ironically Mark Strong and Daniel Craig are friends in real life. I would not mind seeing Mark Strong as a baddie having enjoyed his villianous turns in Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hood.

    Whoops! My Bad, Guess I need to start a reread! Thanks for the correction.

    No need to apologise - we all make mistakes, but I'm a Gardnerologist, y'see. :)

    Nice!

    This thread has been in my head all day. I keep going back to Mark Strong he played a great behind the scenes manipulator in John Carter as Matai Shang. One other name keeps popping into my head: Alan Rickman. Anybody know what he's doing these days? He has been such different villains. Hans Gruber in Die Hard - Cold, Calculating slowly driven over the edge by frustration. In Quigley Down Under, as Marston, he was was a sociopath pretending at civility. And as Sherriff Of Nottingham he played a raving psychopath. In all three he was a blast to watch.

    Although I deplore the movie, at least the success of Skyfall might attract some of these bigger named stars to Bond Roles. If for nothing else, for that I am grateful for Skyfall.

    Well, Skyfall was a film defined by its villain (Raoul Silva) like none since GoldenEye, IMHO, so that rather makes sense. :)
