Who should be cast as a Bond villain in future Bond films?

[Tg11]

If anything who should be cast as a Bond villain in future Bond films? That is if you could pick any actor in Hollywood to play a Bond villain male or female to be the main antagonist for Bond then who would you cast?

 

[Boy Scout]

I dunno if he could pull it off, but it'd be very interesting to see Henry Cavill subvert expectations and play a Bond villain.

Benedict Cumberbatch or Chiwetel Ejiofor as a Bond villain gets my vote or even Eric Bana

 

[Kane52630]

Dan Stevens

 

[StarLord]

Matthias Schoenaerts.

 

[Tg11]

Could you imagine Fassbender as a Bond villain rather than as a Bond replacement? But Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a Bond villain preferably as a henchman

 

[Schlosser85]

Kenneth Branagh could be cool, though he was already sort of a Bond-type villain in Jack Ryan.

 

[Tg11]

Jason Statham as a Bond villain now that would be something especially if that were to ever happen but the chances of that are what? But hey stranger things have happened

 

[Erzengel]

Melissa McCarthy.

 

[Loki882]

I actually have a list of people that I'd like to see play Bond villains at some point:

-Idris Elba.
-Vincent Cassel.
-Julianne Moore.
-Chiwetel Ejiofor.
-Jon Hamm.
-Timothy Olyphant.
-Ken Watanabe.
-Jessica Chastain.
-Rachel Weisz.
-Viola Davis.
-Oscar Isaac.
-Cate Blanchett.
-Hiroyuki Sanada.
-Andy Serkis.
-Ayelet Zurer.
-Anil Kapoor.
-Viggo Mortensen.
-Charlize Theron.
-Octavia Spencer.
-Michael C. Hall.

Elba he actually would make a better Bond villain as opposed to being Bond himself and Cassel he just screams Bond villain same goes for Viggo Mortensen but also Michael C Hall also would make a great Bond villain

Rachel Weisz she would make a great Bond girl in terms of being a villain

 

[Rowsdower!]

Toby Stephens!


Oh, wait...

 

[Loki882]

Plus the novelty of seeing Rachel Weisz playing the main villain and interacting with her real-life husband onscreen would be great. She's all a damn fine actress.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Angelina Jolie
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Jason Statham
Tom Hanks (imagine him as a parody of the rich warmongering "ugly American," like a combination of Dick Cheney and Mike Huckabee)

 

[Erzengel]

Matt Damon - Let him be Jason Bourne Identity

 

[Rowsdower!]

Bond v. Bourne: Dawn of Intelligence

 

[Eddie Dean]

Pierce Brosnan

 

[gwynplaine]

Woody Harrelson

 

[Rowsdower!]

Liam Neeson. But only if he has a stern phone conversation with Bond at some point in the movie where he tells him he's going to find him and kill him.

 

[Napoleon]

Tilda Swinton.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Charles Dance
Toby Kebbel
Hugh Jackman (ideally he would be my first choice for the next Bond, but he's too old now, so a villain would do)
Christian Bale

 

[The Joker]

Gary Oldman.

 

[Thundarr]

I always wanted to see previous James Bonds be cast as Bond villains in future 007 movies. Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, etc. I always thought that that would be a really fun entry into the franchise.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

Tom Hanks (imagine him as a parody of the rich warmongering "ugly American," like a combination of Dick Cheney and Mike Huckabee)

Woody Harrelson

Add these to the list of American bond villains I'd say **** yeah to:

JK Simmons
Robert Downey Jr.
Peter Dinklage

 

[Majik1387]

I'll try to avoid the actors over-saturating the Cast _______ threads and obvious fanboy loved comic movie actors.

I'm also talking main villains(Goldfinger, Max Zorin), not right hand henchmen/women(Xenia Onatopp, Jaws).

Idris Elba
Tilda Swinton
Bill Nighy
Anjelica Huston
Jean Reno
Meryl Streep
Peter Stormare
Udo Kier

I'm sure there's more I can't think of right now.

 

[Tg11]

Russell Crowe as a Bond villain would actually be perfect or how about Jason Isaacs
