when daniel craig eventually retires
from the role of the British secret
agent all eyes will be on the actor who
portrays him next sorry that I’m late
I’m glad to see that you all got started
without me
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
actors who should play James Bond
for this list we’re taking a look at
actors we think would be qualified to be
known by the code number of
double-oh-seven
I – I’m on a very important case
inspector so you will understand what I
mean when I tell you no one must know
that I am here number 10 Nikolaj
coster-waldau strange thing first time
you cut him out realize were nothing but
sacks of meat blood and some bone to
keep it all standing better than the
Kingslayer to reintroduce us to the next
James Bond screw you got time for this
while most are familiar with Nikolaj
coster-waldau from HBO’s Game of Thrones
closer analysis would reveal his
aptitude to play more cunning and
brooding roles in various thrillers
besides the actor’s natural suave
appearance he can be a beacon for dry
wit as frequently seen in his Jaime
Lannister role profitable choose a new
hand of the king someone to do his job
while he’s up balls and hunting whores
was it the other way around he would
also be the first Danish James Bond but
we already know he can nail a British
accent so bring on the tux things I do
for love
number nine tom hiddleston I am Loki of
Asgard and I am burdened with glorious
purpose during a discussion about
charming British actors Tom Hiddleston’s
name is more than likely to pop up see
you in Hell mustache his iconic role as
Thor’s mist of his brother Loki in
numerous Marvel adaptations has helped
the actor gain critical success how are
your friends have time with me when
they’re so busy fighting you
however Hiddleston is proven he’s
capable of more than just the villain
role he’s also one of the younger
candidates in Hollywood’s list of male
actors who we’d feel would be suitable
for bond and his age would allow him to
reprise the role for many years to come
find a god you dull creature and I will
not be bullied by number eight Damian
Lewis you go one thing time for you
Frank you too old to die young this UK
native may not fit the conventional
parameters of the signature
double-oh-seven character yet his
classic appearance makes it so easy to
see him in bonds fancy tuxedos and
expensive cars not really too good at
making speeches my wife does most of the
talking in the family
fans of Damien Lewis’s performance as us
sergeant Nicholas Brody in homeland will
recognize the actor’s wide range making
his portrayal of a British secret agent
seem like not such a far jump yo George
and Plus who’s to say bond wouldn’t look
good in red get out get out out out get
out out go go walk number seven Andrew
Lincoln
judging from this actors breakout role
in the popular series The Walking Dead
he’s most definitely due for a large
feature film role yeah not only does
Andrew Lincoln clean up well
but his various roles in television and
in the movies have exhibited some of
James Bond’s most favorable
characteristics as well this DJ what do
you reckon the worst in history probably
we’ve seen him play the lover in
romantic comedies a leader of a group of
survivors and a bit of a douche in the
British series teachers need to be
headmaster Lincoln’s portrayal of bond
may be the most versatile we’ve yet to
see would it be considered looting don’t
think those rules apply anymore do you
number 6 Tom Hardy I told myself they
cannot touch me they have long dead this
actor is possibly one of the most
sought-after talents in Hollywood these
days and for good reason you tell them
whatever it takes do you understand and
you let him go Tom Hardy has flawlessly
demonstrated the fact that when it comes
to acting
he has no limits
his past roles have not only proved he’s
mastered the art of action-packed
thrillers but his name alone is big
enough to carry a whole franchise don’t
you don’t do that he’s in agony I’m
breaking him up this may be the actor’s
only drawback as producers may
preferably want to fill theater seats
off of bonds name and not Hardy’s number
5 Matthew good because there’s nothing
like a friend’s engagement to make a
woman to do something she’ll later
regret the fiance’s better looking sharp
anyone missed the tall dark and handsome
James Bond night wore obviously I would
hope otherwise I understand that while
it’s apparent that the franchise has
opted to experiment in new directions
for the iconic character matthew goode
would be a good fit for the role because
he emits such a classic sense of the
timeless bond that we’ve all come to
know and love a woman marry will collect
vintage cars just as long as I can have
a db9 with all the chimp okay also he’s
not yet been given the chance to prove
himself as the lead in any major films
so a part like this could be a possible
breakthrough performance so in order to
save this planet
I had to trick it the greatest practical
joke in human history
number four Michael Fassbender and like
the snows of yesteryear gone from this
earth jolly good sir we’ve seen charming
and cool bond but how about a borderline
villainous bond Michael Fassbender has
embodied all three qualities most
notably in his portrayal of magneto in
the x-men franchise what do man yeah did
you do why they have you in there for
killing the president the actors ability
to become a likable bad guy or at least
an antihero can open plenty more
dimensions to the double-oh-seven
character all while keeping fairly
consistent with the bond characteristics
your right to fear us we are the future
we are the ones who will inherit this
time besides we’ve all seen him play on
more than convincing British spy in
inglourious basterds what appear there’s
any one thing that you do and what would
that be
stick this see our pitas into your Nazi
boss number three richard armitage is a
year Gandalf
we’re fascinated with what this actors
portrayal of bond could be because we
wouldn’t really know what to expect and
this is all part of the allure of
Richard Armitage he’s been placed in so
many conflicting roles it’s hard to
confine him to one type of character
which could very well be the key that
unlocks all the phases of bond we’ve yet
to see while Armitage has primarily
stuck to television his movie and many
theatre performances have far from
disappointed who the hell are you the
first of many cut off one head two more
shall take its place
hail Hydra number two Clive Owen there
are some actors out there that can play
Bond and then there are some actors that
can be Bond
we would put this seasoned actor into
the latter camp as it was revealed that
he was sought out for the role before it
was awarded to Daniel Craig the idea of
Clive Owen taking on the role of
double-oh-seven was ignited by his
performance in 1998’s croupier in a
candle that day smoke
sometimes that now
and even if Owen is never cast we’ll
always have a glimpse of what could have
been from his parody of James Bond in
the Pink Panther Nigel Boswell Asian
double or six know what that means
because I do you are one short of a big
time before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
three two days notice let’s go get it
down get it down
check verified critter down
that’s him
I can have you court-martialed and I
might you can’t I don’t work for you I
don’t exist hi
turns out that’s the only German you
need to note the break enigma number one
idris elba this good
we would just like to put our bid in for
this actor to helm the role of the most
interesting men on earth
some unforeseen circumstances involving
leaked sony emails brought this actors
candidacy for the role of bond to the
public and aside from some misguided
backlash fans have collectively
expressed their excitement never as an
enemy slipped my watch until this day a
close look at address Elba’s credentials
would demonstrate that the actor is
quite frankly overqualified for the role
I’m a policeman or I am a policeman see
that what does it say says I’m above
your ring back up
Elba effortlessly exudes a certain
presence and poise that not only
transcend skin colour but is also quite
familiar to Mr Bond himself vengeance is
like an open wound I cannot take that
level of emotion into the truth my
family I’m good idea
do you agree with our list quite well
actually
which actor do you want to see play
James Bond you did it cuz you needed to
do it it’s that compulsion that makes
you weak for more awesome top 10s
