Lets say Daniel Craig didn't make the cut back in Casino Royale, who would you have wanted to been the new Bond?

 

[A-V-B]

Idris Elba!

 

[Discotheque]

Steve Buscemi

 

[shadow_shogun]

Clive Owen

 

[CornDogg]

Tom Hardy could've pulled it off. It's probably for the best that he never was Bond, though, so we could get him in other stuff like The Revenant.

No one. CR is the best Bond film ever produced.

 

[tr4nce 26]

Honestly, I can't imagine anyone else playing that role. He was perfect.

What kind of monster asks me to replace the lead from one of my favorite films of all time?

Present-day Dan Stevens, or Clive Owen. Would be curious to see a Hugh Jackman version too.

[A-V-B]

No one.

Craig was perfect in CR, perfect enough that I really can't imagine anyone else in that role.

As for the following films? I think Ralph Fiennes would've been good as Bond – which, given his role in Skyfall and Spectre, makes me think the producers felt the same. Obvious in hindsight, but Idris Elba would've been a great choice.

As I recall, Clive Owen was the favorite at the time. Although I'm sure he would've made a fine Bond, I think the producers had the right idea in casting Craig; breaking the mold and moving Bond beyond the boundaries of Sean Connery's vague likeness.

I don't see his name get tossed around enough for post-Craig Bond. Hiddleston might be alright, but I was not convinced by The Night Manager. Stevens' turn in The Guest was a much better audition for Bond, I think.

The movies would just be Mike Tyson and his tiger running around beating up bad guys and occasionally singing Phil Collins songs.

Aaaand we're done.

Mike Tyson

Best part is he's a misogynistic woman-beating rapist, so he's probably the closest to Ian Flemming's Bond.
