It's a bit off-topic, but I'd love to see David Souchet or Leonardo de Caprio as Bond villains. Suchet played Dr No in the BBC Radio version Peter Capaldi even pops up as Q.

Yeah, that's where I got my idea from. They're terrific little stories, aren't they? Souchet sounds so thoroughly alien as No.

Why does there need to be theory? I just think it would make it more believable. I find it hard to see Daniel Craig as the same person as Sean Connery when Daniel Craig doesn't look like Sean Connery. You actually thought that thought and then typed it up and then posted it?

First off I would not count Craig out for one more. Time and the huge paycheck has way of softening ones position. Although after how bored he looked during most of SPECTRE, I would say he is ready to move on. I have no idea who should play the next incarnation of 007 but I know I'd love to see someone like Edgar Wright or Mathew Vaughn direct.

Oh I get the thinking the thought and even typing the thought out...it's the actually posting the thought part that amazes me.

To be honest, as much as having Craig back for one more is appealing I think that Spectre has tied up his character arc. It's the Thunderball to his Goldfinger sure, but there's a sense of completeness there that you really don't get with the end of other Bond eras (more's the pity when it comes to On Her Majesty's Secret Service). Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman gave me a bit of a revelation when I was watching it. I realised that we could still have the traditional high fantasy James Bond films even in the twenty-first century with all its grit. The chaps behind The Winter Soldier, Joe and Anthony Russo, would also be a nice addition to the Bond canon.

Unless my memory is off, Vaughan was the original choice to direct Casino Royale and he had a large part in casting Craig prior to his departure.

I'm kind of disappointed they didn't go with that route actually. Martin Campbell is great and GoldenEye remains one of my favourite films (even though they never used the original script written by Michael France), but Vaughn has a particular quintessential style that seems perfect for Bond. It's like the Pierce Brosnan/Steven Spielberg films in the 1980s we never got to see.

I really liked SPECTRE....am I alone in that? Actually I like all the Bond films enough to own them all on Blu ray, so I guess I'm pretty forgiving--although naturally I love some more than others.
Idris Elba? I've heard his name bantered about, but Good God no. No problem here if they decide to go with a black Bond, but Elba's not handsome enough, and it has nothing to do with his skin. Neither is Benedict Cumberbatch. Homely (or even plain/nondescript) doesn't cut it for Bond.
The Henry Cavill idea is an excellent one! Ultimately I really don't care as long as there are girls, guns, gadgets, another kickass theme song, villains, and Ben Whishaw as 'Q'!

Nope, you're not alone there. I thought Spectre was actually rather good, albeit a little derivative. The only big issue I can really think of is that any Bond could have assumed Craig's role. Skyfall was pure Connery no question, something you could have shown in 1967 directed by Terence Young with only a few minor tweaks (e.g. the computer viruses addressed to M are instead a series of sealed envelopes). It was a film that had more than a few shades of The Ipcress File to it. Coming out of the theatre for Spectre however, I thought that you could have slotted in pretty much anyone you wanted with Timothy Dalton being the most prominent; I think it was the couch gag and the "atmosphere" in the new car that really did it. That may have been what rubbed more than a few people the wrong way, the titular protagonist comes off as almost generic and that's after three films of fairly solid characterisation.

I'm hearing a lot of buzz lately about Tom Hiddleston--which would be a good choice!

He's been the bookies favourite for a while but I think Hiddleston would be such a safe, slightly dull choice. I mean, he's pretty much played a modern Bond with The Night Manager. I feel like we know how he'd play it already. That doesn't discount him of course - Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were both incredibly obvious casting after The Saint and Remington Steel saw them play the role in all but name already so there is precedence for not looking too far outside the box.
EON have never cast a big movie star before so I don't see Cavill or Hiddleston now. Bonds have always been TV actors who, if they've done movies, have been British lower budget ones. Connery was in a couple of movies but with low billing. He'd been a TV actor including doing Shakespeare. Moore was a TV star who had just had his series cancelled. Dalton had some roles in big films but they weren't close to being leads. Brosnan was doing b-pictures like The Lawnmower Man after Remington Steele or being billed fifth in fluff like Mrs Doubtfire. Craig was a TV actor who did smaller budgeted UK films like Enduring Love, The Mother and Layer Cake. Nowhere near a big-name internationally. None of them were in blockbusters the way Cavill and Hiddleston are. It doesn't fit the model and, probably, the budget for a new Bond.
I personally want Chiwitel Ejifor but I'd be willing to bet it's someone like James Norton or Aiden Turner. Jack Huston maybe. He's a TV actor but he's venturing into films and is starring in Ben Hur later this year.
So yeah, my guesses: 1. Jack Huston 2. James Norton 3. Aiden Turner.

I still think Craig will do another, i think this "I've had enough playing Bond" is all media scripted to maintain interest, my ideal choice is Henry Cavill as Bond but he's commited to Justice League for the foreseeable future so i think that rules him out, Tom Hiddleson is a excellent choice & would bring something a little different to the role.

I had a few reservations about Tom Hiddleston at first, but having since seen him in The Night Manager, I'd be all for it. It's such a shame that Cavill is unavailable because his turn as Napoleon Solo was absolutely marvellous, I think he'd make a terrific Bond.

That says it all for me lol. Cheers Tony

He has that eclectic Brosnan feel to him where he could be a bit of everything, an interpretation that could dress you down with his words or the butt of his Walther if you pushed him too far.

He'd certainly be my choice, hopefully Craig sticks around for one more allowing Cavill to finish Justice League & then take over as 007.
