My first choice is still Leo Suter.
He looks like the guy of Cover up and Voyagers..
Suter is my top choice for the role, but I do think he needs a Guy Richie film or a prime time BBC drama to show his potential as Bond.
Oh please, I’ve watched several interviews and he is far from being an “ airhead “ .

Tell me he doesn't look like Bond here?
I think he has tremendous potential but I’m absolutely aware that he could fall flat during the casting process including screentests.
Oh yeah. I mean, this is out of our perception entirely. Personally, I just don't see enough there to fill the big screen as Bond, or even a lot of other roles, but as I said I'm willing to be proven wrong, and would be happy if it came in exchange of a James Bond I enjoy. I'll certainly be looking out for the next couple of films he's in.
His voice is very good though, and I genuinely believe he'd be good in a video game or audio adaptation. A bit like how I don't think Toby Stephens would have been the best option for Bond but excelled in that area.
Nowadays Toby Stephens would make a great Bond villain. He looks far more menacing mature than he was in DAD. He'd make a great Drax now, ironically enough.
He has the looks. I don't think it's enough but who knows. Lynley might be his Remington Steele.
In his defense, this one suits the character of Lynley
Lots of choices but it depend on what the studio wants to do with Bond.
Cavill was excellent in Mission impossible as the bad guy, Aaron Taylor Johnson was good in Bullet Train.,again a bad guy, Hardy, Stevens, Norton, Turner,even rumours the guy who playing the new Frankenstein monster .
There are other possibles Ed Skrein, Nicholas Hoult but my choice would be Mathew Goode
I hope many rises on top in screentests.
But, “ in the end, there can be only one “
That might favor Cavill, if the planned Highlander film gets made...(he's cast in the protagonist part, and Dave Bautista as the primary antagonist <-- tough to replace Clancy Brown in that part !
Powell might be an interesting choice for Felix Leiter. But he may overshadow the actor playing Bond.
I’m not sure he’s that good an actor. He’s very likeable. But I feel he may have limited range.
They obviously saw something in him, and it's impressive that any 22 year old could get that far with Bond. But I can very much see why they went with Craig. Other than being the superior actor I think they just had someone who understood what their approach to the role would be and could convey it. I think that'll be the case this time round with whoever gets the role.
Can you guess why he got "easier" time in audition and others didnt?
There’s also the possibility that he adjusted the performance himself with each take rather than being directed. But either can happen. I guess they just saw something in him whatever way - albeit something that was a bit underdeveloped.
This is my problem with Cavill; I can always sense that he is "acting" and contemplating every word before it comes out of his mouth.
