    I think Bruno Ganz should play the head of Quantum. After seeing him in DOWNFALL, he's become one of my favorite actors.
    That's more like it, Bruno Ganz. Class.

    After watching Fargo earlier today I'm thinking either a) Peter Stormare would make a decent and ruthless villian or even a ruthless henchman or b) if the producers can get Steve Reevis as a henchman. and finally c) maybe team the two up as villian and henchman. Peter the Villian and Steve his henchman. If you've seen Fargo you should know Peter is quiet yet ruthless (a little psycho to. And Steve has some strength to him. Remember what how he handled Carl Showalter? I rest my case.

    Like the Blofeld of the novels the next Bond villain should be physically menacing and brilliant and mad. Liev Schreiber would be a fine choice. Cleaned up he would be an imposing presence in the boardroom. In the final show down with 007 he would be a real threat. Schreiber and Daniel Craig have already worked together in Defiance and after X-Men Origins:
    Wolverine, there is no doubt that Schreiber could pull off a truly evil villain. He would make a terrific Shatterhand. Olga Kurylenko could return as Camille and she could duke it out with Zhang Ziyi as the villainess.
    Just a thought. B-)

    Never mind Timothy Dalton playing a villain, they should bring him back as Bond. I've had enough of this Craig fool after one great film and one poor one.
    On a more serious note, I think either Hugo Weaving or Gary Oldman would be great villains and I assume Jesper Christensen's Mr. White will turn out to be the head of Quantum as he seems a very important long-term character. Also, Eon should get Cillian Murphy a role before he becomes too big a name.

    Swedish actor Mikael Persbrandt would be great. He has played villans (and heroes) successfully in scandianavian movies several times.

    Here are videos to prove my point:

    Persbrandt in a scene with his ex, Maria Bonnevie, who would be an amazing Bond girl:

    Here are som better clips of Mikael Persbrandt:

    Persbrandt is a very good actor who has worked with Ingmar Bergman. He can look physically threathening next to Bond, and being 6' 2 1/2'' certainly helps. Why shouldn' t a villan be taller than Bond? It would only make Bond look harder when he beats the villan.

    Now that some people have mentioned it, I can actually picture David Hype Pierce playing a Locque-type of villain.

    The Bond films should have had actors as minor henchmen/women attacking Bond such as Mr. T., Hulk Hogan, Lou Ferrigno, Lucy Lawless and Kevin Sorbo. Also, Dolph Lundgren was wasted in AVTAK. He could have been used to strangle Sir Roger.

    I'd like to see Denzel Washington as a Bond villain. I think he projects both the intelligence and the physicality that an actor needs to actually go head-to-head with 007.

    Great idea, Washington would be superb. Ain't gonna happen, though! (He's too big for Eon to bag)

    would've thought Halle Berry would be too big to bag too, but it happened - so you never know. The honour and prestige of being in a Bond film would be worth the inevitable pay cut. Maybe.

    Halle Berry wasn't too big at the time she signed for DAD, though. It wasn't till she won her Oscar for Monster's Ball (during the Bond shoot) that her status rose- compare her billing on the second X-Men movie (released after her 007 venture, but to which she was already contractually obliged) to that on the third.

    I wouldn't mind seeing people like Malcolm McDowell and Terence Stamp,

    I like the idea... and if there was a ¨remake¨ of Live and Let Die he would be a superb Mr. Big, but his fame surpasses Craig's... unlikely to happen :(

    I'd like Lazenby. No joke.
