  I'm watching Oppenheimer at the moment. I think maybe Matthias Schweighöfer could make a good Bond villain, he's got an interesting face. My only reservations: another Germanic actor as a villain might be a cliche and on principle I'd rather have more brutish, physically imposing villains.

  
  He’d be very interesting, yes. Good call.
  How about Adrien Brody? Wouldn’t that be something?
  

  
  I always thought Brody had too nice a face. But I guess his profile is closer to what they have been casting for the later part of the Craig era. Personally, I'd rather have lesser known actors, but maybe this ship has sailed now.

  
  He was scary as hell in Peaky Blinders ;)

  
  Haven't seen Peaky Blinders.
  
  There's a lot of fairly unknown veteran actors in Oppenheimer who I think could make very capable Bond villains. Jefferson Hall for instance. As Chevalier, he looked a bit like the novel's Hugo Drax. He just needed a shorter haircut and a burnt scar.

  
  You should be a casting agent. Well done ;)
  
  As for Brody, take a look a this little gem of a scene
  
  
  
  Or this one
  
  

  
  Thanks, will watch them ASAP. I'm sure Brody is capable of playing a villain.
  
  Watching Oppenheimer, I think about half the cast could make a great villain. I would prefer a fairly unknown veteran, but if they use the same approach as the later half of the Craig era, Cillian Murphy has the most chances of being cast: he's a renowned veteran actor, he's won an Oscar, he's the right age, etc. He wouldn't be my first choice, for the reasons stated before (too famous now, plus I'd rather see a more imposing villain), but I would not be surprised to see him cast.
