Can all those who either voted for Will Smith, or who suggested an American actor, please go and line up next to the wall over there and your firing squad will be with you shortly. Bond is one of the few series where a Brit is shown as the good guy and using an American actor would really spoil it.
And yet the greatest Bond to ever grace the Silver screen was a Scot. Weird.
No matter what the Scottish may say, Scotland is part of Great Britain and therefore allowed.

Nothing that hasn't been said before, but here goes:

Daniel Craig (although the question said next)
James Callis (put a few muscles on the man and he'd be perfect)
David Tennant (although playing two different British Icons is probably a bad idea)
Sean Connery (but no making-him-young-crap, I'm convinced Bond would still have it at 80)

Worthington can't act, Bale is overused anyways, Butler is too quirky, Owen could work, but I don't quite see it yet.

Daniel Craig can keep doing it it's not like he is to old or anything. but if they have to change it they should make sure he is played by someone from England.

How about the guy who lost out to Daniel Craig? The guy who was on the show Moonlight and Three Rivers?

He'd make an awesome bond.

M : "This is your mission Bond... We need booze, and fags, and for you to stop the ultranationalists before they blow up space! To help you, Q has come up with some new inventions..."
Q : "Now listen closely, Bond, I have a box that runs on pixie dust. Open it, and it will sing a gentle lullaby to cause your enemies to drift off to sleep. Here is a giant KitKat, I'm sure you can find a use for it in the field, and here is a CD of Chris de Burgh's hits. If you play it loud enough, you will cause your enemies to vomit uncontrollably."
Bond : "Great, that's great, fine fine fine. Can I just have some biscuits!?"
I agree with your manifesto and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Hows no one answered Sean Bean?

To everyone mentioning Americans, we have enough Americans already as lead charecters. Apparently no other nation has heroes. Lets leave Bond British. It is part of being an agent for the British Secret Service. Other wise you have Bourne, XXX or one of the hundreds of other Yank protagonists.

Because you of course can't learn a proper accent of another English language.

COUGH hugh laurie COUGH
I read Hugh auditioned as an American with his American accent and although they couldn't quite place where in American he was from they believed him.

Jack Davenport. I'll say it again: Jack, Davenport.
(He was Commodore Norrington in the Pirates of the Caribbean films)
sigh
(the bloke who had a crush on the girl, posh voice, didn't look like a girl despite the wig, went a bit nuts in the last 2 films, was one of the three guys fighting on the wheel)
He is excellent, as anyone who's ever seen the pirates films or coupling should tell you,
Also he should have played Arthur Dent in the recent hitch-hiker film, maybe then we'd have got a film which wouldn't have made me want to scratch my eyes out with a coral reef.

So, they're British against their will?
