Will Smith? ... whahuh? How ... what? Will Smith? I don't quite ... understand ... how ... what? Out of that short list, Smith is the best actor ... but he's about a good a match as casting The Rock as Harry Potter.

Is it a bad sign that the black american Smith looks more capable and bond-like than the idiot Sam and the slab-faced Bale?

Bale and Sam look like soldiers. Broad foreheads and small-set eyes. Bond was not a soldier. Hell, David Tennant looks more Bond-ish than either of them, and he's a scrawny-necked ex-Doctor for heaven's sake!

Honestly, one actor I wouldn't mind seeing play the role would be Robert Downey Jr. He's no stranger to action movies, the british vibe, gadgets and dry humor (hell, just stick Sherlock Holmes in the 21st Century...) I can see him doing a very, very good Bond.
Actually, that could probably work. I support this!

CLIVE OWEN

he's got the look and the action acting chops. Plus he's just not in enough good fun movies.

Craig was perfect, just quantum was a stinker. The boat chase where people just give up? Listening in on the badguys by riding a motorbike up to a chain link fence? Bad guys who are increasing the cost of water by 20%? What kind of super villiany is that?

No speculation; Craig should stay!
And didn't they already spend a lot of money on scenes with him for bond 23 anyway?

I do love Bale tho, but if he would be in a bond movie it'd be as a psycho bad guy ;)

According to British bookie William Hill, the number one choice is Will Smith [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0941777/]. Yes, that Will Smith.

Boy, I sure hope Daniel Craig comes back.
...and this will be the one and only time I will ever support Daniel Craig.

All those choices are terrible, they should find somebody NEW like they did with the new doctor who.

OR THIS. I was thinking this a while ago, he'd be good.

Gender flip: it's going to be me. They already said so.

Let's go with Daniel Craig. That being said, I've aaalways been a fan of Pierce Brosnan ¬_¬ I know he's not an option, but whatever.

Sigh. Call me nuts, but I'd finance this film myself if they got John Barrowman to sign on for it.
I think David Tennant wouldn't be too bad in the role either...
Hmm, two of the sexiest british characters in TV/movies, both done by David Tennant.

If he does get picked if Craig gets scrapped, I'm just going to flat out propose.

Something Maddox wrote can never be good, and this article is no exception.

Anyway I don't see them changing actors mid-production even with delays. To be perfectly honest I can't see any other actors as Bond right now except for Craig because he's been doing such a good job with the role, and there really doesn't seem to be anybody semi-known who could pick up the role in his stead. Also as said above they've already spent a fair amount of money on Bond 23 with Craig in it so it makes little sense to tear it down and start from scratch, to me anyway.

Just really hoping Craig doesn't wind up with a "Dalton" run of two pictures (even though I liked the two Dalton films)

Boris Johnson?

Ewan McGregor. Really.

I do hope Daniel Craig stays on though. He's not my favourite Bond, but he deserves at least one more movie.

i think it should be Andy Whitfield, after he gets over his cancer of course.

Um... does Will Smith even have the capacity to pull off a British accent? I mean, the dude can actually act pretty decently at times, but I don't see him being a 007.

Craig has been a good Bond, and honestly I hope that he gets to stay on.

Worryingly I see a ton of American actors being dropped for the biggest British character in action cinema history.
Personally I'd vote for Colin Salmon, who almost became Bond in the past. He has portrayed bond in a television skit on Omid Djalili's sketch show.
Look him up on the interwebs!

It would not shock me in the slightest if Robert Pattingson got it.

Will Smith??? really?

Sam Worthington seems like a decent choice.

I hope the Bond saga ends soon. It SHOULD have been done when they turned the last Ian Fleming Bond novel into a film in 1987, The Living Daylights. The movies that have followed have been OK as action movies, but have no right to call themselves James Bond movies. Casino Royale was a joke.

I don't care if he's older than Craig, the world deserves to see Clive Owen as James Bond! Christian Bale would be good, but only if he channels Patrick Batemen and not Bruce Wayne.
Fuck me yes yes yes CLIVE OWEN

He should be in everything, he's hugely downplayed, he fucking steals the scenes that he's in the Bourne Identity (by the way he plays "forest/long grass sniper guy" in that)

Or Craig again with a better script than Quantum of Sausage delivered...
LOL, i just spat out my beer, Quantum of Sausage... brilliant.
