    Strong nay be too predictable now. But depending how the role is written I wouldn't be against it.

    Maybe time to finally have an Australian Bond Villain. Some good Aussie actors out there here are a few.

    Colin Friels

    They went from Scandinavian, to French, to Spanish. My bet is that the next villain will be played by a British or Irish actor.

    I concur with those who earlier mentioned comments in this thread about Jessica Lange. I think she is unhinged just enough to make the hairs on the back of my neck come to full attention as a Bond villainess. As an added bonus from my perspective, she's a fellow Minnesotan!

    Nick Nolte also comes to mind.

    What about non-traditional choices? David Bowie...Iggy Pop...? Perhaps a bit of someone unexpected like the gentleman formerly known as Reginald Dwight ;-), or Steve Coogan, or Alan Ruck (who happens to have a daughter with the first name of Vesper)...maybe John Turturro?

    And in the category of reality imitating frightening art: Dick Cheney.

    Just remember David Bowie could have been our Max Zorin. He opted out but Walken was great but still I reckon Bowie would have been interesting.

    I want Kim Kold cast as a henchman. He's in the new fast 6 movie and I think he'll be a great physical presence.

    Christoph Waltz would be bring some entertainment as a colourful Bond nemesis or Jim Caviezel with his methodical screen presence; he could provide a very calculating character to test Bonds wits.

    It would also be nice to see a new female Bond villain; actresses Salma Hayek, Penélope Cruz or Eva Mendes adding the exotic double cross to confuse Bond.

    Waltz is a deffo. I watched him in Water for Elephants and his personality shifts in the film reminded me of a Bond villain, he would certainly be top of my list. Gary Oldman would be another top choice he plays the bad guy well and hasn't done it for a while so why not with Bond?

    James McAvoy is someone else who could give Daniel a run for his money at being a villain.

    And finally, what about Ryan Gosling? The new Max Zorin type of villain?

    A real screen presence in many films, possibly a controversial suggestion, "Michael Douglas", in his younger years would have been an exceptional villain; when he has played the darker personalities in past films, he seems to be in possession of an undercurrent of restrained, but if provoked, highly explosive temper; there is a real feeling of my-way or highway when his ambitions look to be frustrated.

    If he had been cast as a megalomaniac character dominating industry, with his sights set on world stage control, he could have brought some electrifying entertainment and proved to be a very shrewd nemesis for Bond to contemplate, and finally need to deal with.

    I'll reiterate my opinion that Sidney Poitier and Alec Guinness as Kananga and Drax respectively, in the early 60's, would've been absolutely outstanding.

    Jason Isaacs would be interesting to see play a villain, almost matching Bond's look.

    Hello to Jason Issacs!

    I think my reservation with Jason Isaacs is that he looks a bit to much like Bond. He is the right age to play the villain, but his look is a bit too good. They could go Silva on him though, and use heavy makeup to transform his appearance radically.

    A few newbies to add here that may have Bond villain appeal include

    Ray Stevenson

    Stellen Skarsgard I think would be a candidate for Blofeld. I mean if they did introduce Blofeld he looks a little bit like Donald Pleasance. Still could make a decent Bond baddie me thinks.

    A few years ago Stellan Skarsgard would have been among my first choices as Blofeld, now he may be getting old. But I think if they ever use Blofeld, let's make him as different as Pleasence's as possible.

    Yes, he's a bit like Bond...

    BUT!

    Once you see a few evil looking photos of him, this could change your perception a bit.

    (Not that I like the HP look, just couldn't find a decent angry photo of him, ha.)

    I just saw Gladiator again, and although I realize it likely won't happen, I'd love to see Joachim Phoenix as a villain in a Bond film one day.

    His Commodus was quite disturbing and he projects 'unbalanced' quite well on screen.
