Michael Douglas will be the man with the rotten facelift.

"Surgery is required whenever he's hired..."

[bondfan15]

I much prefer the villians like Goldfinger, Largo, Zorin, Trevelyn, and Graves - all villians who are lazy enough to have henchmen but can put up a good fight with Bond if they have to. Villians like Stromberg, Drax, and possibly Anthony Hopkins (no matter how much I love him, and I do) wouldn't do it for me.

Goldfinger put up a fight with Bond? With a gun, maybe. I think that Anthony Hopkins would put up more of a fight than Goldfinger did.

this is true....and plus its just not a physical battle that makes it work either...its the battle of wits between Bond and the villian that makes things really great. it was goldfingers idea's that made things challenging for Bond. hired muscle is easy to find, its the genius behind the plot that makes everything really work.

So true... so true...

What about Wesley Snipes or Denzel Washington as a Kananga-type role--one could be the other's assisstant

How about Samuel L Jackson? He can be sinister enough, especially with his shaved head. A deposed African dictator looking to take advantage of the super-powers current prediliection with the middle east. Or would EON shun hiring the guy who plays xXx's M-like character?

[rogermoore007]

I concur, Samuel L. Jackson would be great--maybe all three could participate--I think Samuel would've made a good TeeHee-type character, Denzel could be Kananga and Wesley could be another important henchman

[kevrichardson]

How about Arnold Vosloo . His name was a some people shot list . He might be free since the MUMMY sequels are finished .

I really do like this idea of Samuel L. Jackson... and the deposed dictator. Maybe not taking advantage of the action in the Middle East, that might hit too close to home right now. How about he gets involved with several top politicians and somehow manipulates that system, making himself look better while dealing in something sinister... I know I'm being pretty vague here but in short I do like idea of Sam Jackson, someone I'd never thought of before... though do you think he's too "well known" to play a Bond villain?

yea...i dunno if he's too well known to play a bond villian, but he could probably pull one off very well. he's a very dramatic and intense actor. plus he's got the slighty irratic and crazy behavior down to an art form.

[Agent 10]

Derren Brown...

... from C4's Mind control program. I think he would just make the perfect bond villain (probably without the whole mind reading thing though).

Why see people here only a man as Villian and not a woman.
I wil see a female as Villian that is working tohether with a male Villian or only a female.
But not a villian like Caryle and Marceau playing in Twine,but more older villians.

[Tanger]

Imagine Brosnan and Liotta (without beard) in a bare knuckle brawl! A la the days of the Connery fights.

Yes! Absolutely! How about Anthony Hopkins and Lena Olin? She might be just a little younger than him, but I think it could work, especially as a married couple. They're my two favorite contestants for roles in the next Bond film! How fitting!

Caryle and Marceau were in "The World Is Not Enough" not in "Die Another Day" . The best female villian assuming you mean main villian was in the John Gardner Bond continuation novel "For Special Services" as Nena Blofeld the daughter of Ernest Stavo Blofeld. I doubt after "TWINE" that EON would go down that path again.

Schwarzenegger, Michael Douglass, Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes- can we not list choices who obviously won't be cast, who are as big as or bigger than Brosnan and who would drive the budget up by an additional $20 mil?

Watched some of North by Northwest today. James Mason's Philip Van Damme was truly the father of the screen Bond villains, right down to the scene in which he goes on about Thornhill's acting- "Seems the only performance you want out of me is playing dead" "Your next role. I am sure you'll play it most convincingly." He was offered Drax in Moonraker, too. Chalk him up with Vincent Price, Klaus Kinski, etc.

never say never again...we can dream can't we?

[ChandlerBing]

I still say get William Shatner to play the villain named General Mortars.

[rogermoore007]

How about Halle Berry is the villain--Jinx could be a traitor--I would love to see Bond KILL HALLE BERRY LIKE HE KILLED STROMBERG

[ChandlerBing]

Guess who doesn't like Halle Berry!

Shatner, what a brilliant idea! No one can overact like him! He would be an interesting villian. But he's over seventy now isn't he?

Someone mentioned Arnold Vosloo, another good choice.

Good guess--how long did it take you to figure that out??

[Irma Bunt]

Tom Baker doesn't llok the same anymore (more's the pity), but Stephen Fry is an inspired choice! Bloody great idea! He'd be so much more convincing than some of the recent villains that are, let's be honest, a bit tame. Think Jonathan Pryce...the guy couldn't have harmed Blofeld's cat, he was that hopeless. I vote Stephen Fry with both arms! He'd be the perfect aloof villain.

GENIUS!! I resound in saying that Liotta would be the ULTIMATE villain. Only problem is that he's my favourite actor, and i wouldn't know who to route for.

[Rob G]

Hi,

I love the idea of having Stephen Fry play the next Q. Ever him or Rowan Atkinson, when they get a bit older. As for the older villain thing. The thing I love about villains like Gustov Graves etc is that they might actually kill Bond in hand to hand, but could Goldfinger? I think not.
I have no idea who should play the next Bond villain, but the next henchman should be played by Vinnie Jones (Swordfish, Gone in 60 seconds). He's a Stamper kind of guy.

Rob G

[Rayliottaasbond]

Vinnie Jones is not a Stamper kind of guy!!! Vinnie jones is a sneering agressive thug. Does that make him tough? No! Stamper is a calm, restrained with a dangerous tranquility. Is he tough? Yes!

Very true about your Graves comment tho!

[jb007twine]

Ray Winstone or Kevin Spacey. Maybe Anthony hopkins would do a good villian.

[ChandlerBing]

In a big twist, we won't actually see the villain of the movie until the very end, when it's revealed to be none other than Bill Clinton.

[JBond007]

They'll probably get another unknown for the next villain.
