Not Q. But according to the Express, Benedict Cumberbatch is expected to lock horns with Daniel Craig in Bond 24 by starring as the next villain. He is considered perfect Bond villain material.

It would obviously rule Cumberbatch out as the next Bond and his public school louchness would hit a nice Flemingian nerve not yet touched on - ex-public schoolboy as Government psychopath.
Gentleman learns how to become a killer, rather than the other way round. Perfect contrast to Craig - which the next Bond WILL have to be.
I love Sherlock, a truly great spin on some classic books. I am also a great admirer of Cumberbatch and heartily agree that he would be a superb villain, however...I would be surprised if enough progress has been made on Bond 24 yet that they're already casting and given the generally questionable reliability of the Express, I'm certainly not holding my breath that there's much fact to this story. The final thought that occurs to me is that Cumberbatch recently launched an absolutely scathing attack on 'Downton Abbey' while praising his upcoming 'Parade's End.' DA might not be everyone's cup of tea but to launch such an attack publicly (he called it "sentimental, cliched and f***ing atrocious") panged of a bit of elitism to me. So, would an Old Harrovian thespian like Cumberbatch who freely admits despising DA really be willing to appear in a Bond film?
Woohoo Q becoming a villain, way to deviate from the source material again
Sorry, did I miss something? I don't think anyone has suggested that the character of Q becomes a villain, rather that someone suggested that the actor Benedict Cumberbatch would make a great Q...and then a tabloid report that the same actor is slated to be a Bond villain.

Well, yeah, sure, Cumberbatch is a typical, headfcuked actor.
Bangs on about being typecast as a toft... because he play toffs; went to Harrow and yet makes Trade Union speeches...in Islington!: slags Downton off as "atrocious" but appears in fukcing STAR TREK!!!

Yep. Typical, true to form, famous wealthy actor.
Well, you summed that up quite succinctly Mr Schofield!

Love him as Sherlock Holmes. -{
Shame, if true.
It would obviously rule Cumberbatch out as the next Bond and his public school louchness would hit a nice Flemingian nerve not yet touched on - ex-public schoolboy as Government psychopath.

Both true. He would make a fantastic Bond villain.
Quite inspired - and Sherlock is fantastic, but then the writing had a lot to do with it. -{
Pardon ?:)
