I will be crucificated by saying this maybe but I think Tom Cruise could be a capable Bond villain. More of an Psycotic type villain.

I've seen the trailer of Collateral and Tom Cruise is a threatening villian in that one. He's even silver haired! That's funny. :)

He does have a certain flair for the villainous side, but not in a Bond film, IMO.

Ya, he passed away on June 11, 1999. I remember hearing about it then. Quite a sad day for Star Trek TOS fans. But ya, I think he would have made a good villain.

How about Andy Garcia? He was pretty good in Ocean's 11.

I also like the idea of an older woman. There could be some interesting interchange between her and Bond.

I'd love to play a henchman myself.

Hmm...that is a tough one. It really depends on what type of villain you're looking for, actually. You could have Anthony Hopkins play the old, senile type villain, who has more henchmen than he needs. You could have the anti-Bond, sort of like what Scaramanga and Trevelyn were like.


I'd enjoy seeing Mark Valley play a villain. He worked with Colin Salmon on Keen Eddie, so there's a little connection. He could pull off a dangerous American-type baddie that would definitely shake up the franchise for the better.

Because he is all ready a big actor. He doesn't need to do a James Bond movie. Besides, if he does play the villian, what kind of villian would he be? I could only see him as the megalomaniacal billioanaire. And we don't need another of those do we? :)

No actor needs to be in a James Bond movie though. Just because he is famed and a great actor doesn't mean he couldn't be in a James Bond film. :)

I agree with Qwerty here. Why not Hannibal Lector? He's my first choice to be a villian, and with a good script offered to him (doubtful), I think he'll sign up. Being a Bond villian is a dream for actors.

OK, now I could go for that. I even have the name of the villain he would play: Gabriel Vieira. Hehe. He kinda looks like a "Gabriel Vieira" doesn't he?

Possibly, but I'd like a name even more exotic than that perhaps! They can do well with the villain's names.

Gabrielle Michael Della Vedova

I have nothing against the name, Gabriel, I personally just wouldn't want it as a Bond villain name. I think Bond villains names have to be very uncommon, and Gabriel just doesn't seem as so.

IMO of course.

Yes, I like the last names you created. Those are indeed pretty cool. Reminds me of possibly being good for the actor as noted above, or if Antonio Banderas was to be a Bond villain.

Yes indeed!

I think he could portray Le Gerant, if that character was to ever be in the films, very well!
