    Alexander Skarrsgard looks the part, can do 'dark', pretty good in fight scenes, interesting actor. Yep I'm of to the bookies.

    Still toss up for me ...Hiddy or Hardy. Hardy would be probably be more popular in NA.

    Tom Hardy would be a real coup as he would get no opposition, the social networks would create a month long candy storm.

    He is probably in the same position now that Moore was in 1970 and Brosnan was in 1994.

    His age would be no problem (he'll be 40 in 2017) as he looks hot as hell and probably will for a long time.
    2018/2020/2023/2025 would be the years to go for his 4 movies.

    I think both are too established.

    No, no. Aidan Turner is the man. He is half Connery, half Dalton. The perfect Bond actor, and relatively unknown. He will amaze us all as James Bond.

    Absobloodylutely.

    I never thought of Aidan Turner before to be honest. In my mind he still is Mitchell the Vampire. Being Human is the greatest show ever from BBC!!

    But boy would he rock as Bond. He has charms galore, good-looking and can be real dangerous.

    Possibly, but I think EON would like an actor who does not yet have as high of a profile; that way he become primarily identified with the franchise. Of course if they are really keen on a more established actor they would go after him.

    Has Hardy expressed any interest in or made any comment on Bond?

    Both actors have ....both enthusiastic about the possibility.

    Studio might push for a higher profile name. True Brosnan and Moore were the only already recognizable names cast. I really think EoN might consider either of those too.

    Both on my opinion are better actors than Turner.

    I wouldn't mind a better known name this time to help bring some of the audience back.

    I want the suave back, not a brute in a suit. Hardy out, Hiddleston in.

    I'd tend to agree with you @RC7, Tom Hiddleston would probably be my pick if I had too, but having only last night viewed the Tom Hardy film Legend, I could see him as Bond. Maybe more brute than we might like, but Bond needs to have a killer edge. A little sadism and fight within. Hardy might not be super suave, but I do believe he wouldn't be a complete let down. I'd take either. They can at least act, which is great. Whether EON or the studio financing would go with either of them is another matter.

    Oddly Tom Hardy never struck me as a possible Bond, a villain yes. He's be brilliant.
    I'd much prefer Huddleston or Adrian Turner. From first watching Poldark, I've thought
    Turner must be in the running.

    What about Moore when he was up for the role. Wasn't he 'too' established? The Saint, and Brett Sinclair in The Persuaders, didn't seem to exclude him from doing a stint as 007. Would love for EON to say they are going ahead with Bond 25 and Hiddleston's the man. DC's had his driving off into the sunset shot, let's leave it there;

    While successful, Moore's was a TV star, Hardy and Hiddleston are known for their movie roles. Of the two though, Hiddleston has the better chance.

    We need a Bond who can be both suave and be a brute. Asian cinema are good at conveying such characters, don't see why it should be so difficult for Bond in this day and age.

    As for Dalton I feel like he could kill me in cold blood. Never seen him on screen but the picture looks great (too dark though but still).

    I was saying to a friend recently, in an alternate universe where he hadn't made Legend, Hardy playing Jack and Seraffimo Spang as absolute bastards would be incredible.

    He looks decent, but I feel like Hiddleston has more presence. There's more going on behind the eyes.

    Turner is the dark side of Dalton mixed with the charm and suave of Connery. I think he could be the greatest Bond ever. Fingers crossed EON have an eye on him as we speak! :x

    I really think they shouldn't go with Turner. He's not Bond in my eyes.

    I too like Turner, although I glad to see there are so many good possibilities. :)
