Ewan Mcgregor or Clive Owen.
Bloom is too feminine and Farrell would just be plain wrong for the role. (he's only in the running because Brosnan was Oirish tbh)

who the hell is the first dude?

Homer is too over the hill

LundiMardi

Isn't the first guy Wolverine? Forget his real name.

Out of those guys Clive Owen would be my choice. Jude Law could be a good choice methinks.

Besides, James Bond has gone well past it's sell by date now. I can't see myself ever looking at another one to be honest.

Hugh Jackman

no poll? shucks.

I'd go for either Jude Law or Clive Owen myself.

grimloch

I'd be happy enough as long as it's not Colin Farrell, I'd like to see Jude Law playing Bond.

I reckon Clive Owen would make a great Bond, he could portray the natural suaveness that Bond should have.

Hugh Jackman could be decent as well.

Jude Law would be too effeminate.

Orlando Bloom would be too weedy.

Ewan McGregor looks too young.

Colin Farrell would just be plain wrong. Just imagine:
The latest Arch Villian: "Goodbye, Mr Bond"
Bond: "Go on, y' mad yoke"

shuushh

orlando bloom would be a good choice if they were gonna do some stories from when bond wa syounger which could breath some life into it unfortunatley bloom is a rubbish actor who has no idea how to carry off being a star in a film

clive owen seems perfect for it

Larianne

no no no NO to Jude Law playing Bond!! Why does that dude get acting gigs!

Hmm Clive Owen maybe but I've only seen him in King Arthur and he's a bit stiff acting. But he does look the part.

Even though he has a cool accent, Ewan McGregor, it would be very strange to see him play it!

Orlando is just a little boy!!!

Defo think it should be someone from the UK though. Aussie (Hugh Jackman) playing a Bond, NO!

Collin Farrell? you bleedin joking me!! and all and anyways...NO!

Khalim

well Colin Farrell could play a cool Bond villain. Some sort of Sekkrit Society in one of their more subtle long-term plans, infiltrate intelligence forces over the world - rather than overt megalomaniacal hi-tech gadgetry mayhem.

God knows we haven't seen one of those in a while.

I also hope Bond focuses more on the character, rather than the gadgets, as I feel at this stage, most of the gadgets they develop are rather bleh.

Pepe LeFrits

Hrm, not sure about any of them really. Owen I guess, he'd be quite similar to Dalton. Convincing as a hard drinker and killer, probably suspect as a womaniser though.

I just can't see McGregor as James Bond, he's not serious enough. Law could be a possibility, he doesn't do characters with a hard edge very much, but I think he'd pull it off.

weemcd

clive owen is very good in croupier at the whole suave, elequent thing. Just not sure he could pull off the bond charm with cheeky one-liners etc.

He is the best actor on that list for the part tho.

Ive been wrecking my head trying to think if there is anyone else, but cant think of any other names.

DonkeyStyle \o/

Out of those, Ewan would be my choice.
Wouldn't it be funny after a few bond movies staring McGregor, to watch Trainspotting and see them all talking about bond movies? 0_o

fitz

Arse to all of those.

Daniel Craig has been mentioned, and he'd leave the rest of them for dust imo.

eggshapedfred

i think Christian Bale would be a pretty good bond, though I guess he's busy being batman now...

pickarooney

Owen is the only one of the above who comes close to being Bond, IMO, but I reckon he'd be rather good. I wouldn't use King Arthur as a gauge for his acting abilities though, his presence and delivery in Closer were much more like it.

Karl Hungus

My vote would go for Paul Bettany.

Meh, he's a bit to gangly to be honest.

What happened to Robbie Williams supposed to be him?

Duckjob

too smirky

GreeBo

I second Christian Bale
after seeing Batman Begins and Equilibrium I think he could really pull it off.
Can do the dark side of bond, looks good in a tux and can do the one liners.
