A mafia-type organization with theses guys:

 

Colin Firth

Benedict Cumberbatch

Gary Oldman

Daniel Day Lewis

Christopher Waltz

 

Think of it as something like "the circle" in John le Carré´s books. A villainous one of course.

Of course that would mean a poster overload: all names and no picture to go with them. Think about the credits.

Anyways, only one of the above would be just fine as well.

[Iceskater101]

Christopher Waltz definitely should be a Bond villain.

[lechero]

Nah, he's way too obvious a choice. And his same old shtick is getting annoying fast. The Academy seems to like it though, seeing as they gave him 2 awards for essentially playing the same character. No, please, cast someone else!

[Sir Godfrey]

As I said in another subject, I really want to see someday Kevin Spacey. I believe he was asked to be the vilain in Skyfall. If Quantum is back someday with a chief, Spacey can be a perfect choice.

That's how I felt after watching Django Unchained. He wasn't good in it. He did one film (Inglorious Basterds) in America, and all of a sudden he's the greatest actor alive. With terrible films and half-assed acting in 'The Green Hornet' and 'The Three Musketeers'.

Great idea, just a pity that 3 of those actors already have been tied up in the Le Carre circle you speak of.

Well i don't know what movie you guys watched, but i definitely saw the same one the Bafta, Golden Globe and Oscar Academies watched and Waltz was untouchable as Best Supporting Actor.

 

But as i've said earlier in this thread, he only shines when he has great dialogue to work with. Tarantino writes great dialogue... The hacks behind The Green Hornet and Musketeers obviously do not.

 

Check out the movie Carnage. With cracking dialogue and direction by Roman Polanski, Waltz is on great form and again steals the show. The film itself is fairly average for Polanski, but by most other directors standards that translates to very good

less known European villain might be a good choice.........someone not too big not too small maybe some respect with critic but that it........don't know who fit that description

How about one of these two:

Cirian Hinds as Blofeld!  Others had mentioned it before and in retrospect, they were dead accurate...!  

[hilly]

Idris Elba

[x007AceOfSpades]

Idris Elba

 

I second this choice.

[007jamesbond]

Idris Elba

 

I second this choice.

I would do it too.....he has won awards in the past.......but it depend if he is available since he is involved in Luthor BBC tv show 

[Odd Jobbies]

 

Idris Elba

Well he's been available enough to do be in Thor, Prometheus, Ghost Rider, Takers, The Losers and Pacific Rim, all while playing BBC TV's Luther

 

Would he be a good Bond villain?

 

If the part is right for him, then he's a great choice. But stunt casting him because he's currently popular is a bad decision (as such decisions often are).

 

Unlike most actors i think he's best when playing outside  his own nationality. Luther is great telly, but sometimes his earnestness is a little overcooked. Don't get me wrong, i love Luther and he's superb the majority of the time, but, although i'm sure it's genuine, he often comes across as a 'mockney' cockney. His turn in Guy Ritchie's Rockenrolla isn't one for his CV (nor that of anyone else in that banal indulgence)

 

However, when playing other  than British he shines. His American character Stringer Bell  in The Wire, along with his U.S. accent, was a faultless performance full of menace and humanity that rightly put him on the map.

 

Also, the bigger the scope of the movie, the better he is. He was good in Prometheus and Thor and apparently very good in the forthcoming Pacific Rim.

 

So, by all means cast him, but do not type-cast  him.....

 

Make him something other  than British and he'll rise to the challenge. Make him a Brit and he'll fall back into type; it'll be gritty, but unoriginal and forgettable.

 

After Bardmem's  fantastic Silva  that would be a crying shame.

Agreed. Elba was brilliant as Stringer Bell, and we haven't had an American villain for a while.... I just think that he has the physical presence to be able to be a credible threat to Craig's Bond, he's a great actor and he is very very cool.

Elba is a fantastic actor and as you said, very very cool. He has this cool look to him haha. He also has a pretty big size advantage (at least to me he does) over someone like Craig's Bond, and it would make for a great, physical altercation between the two in a Bond film. I think he'd be a perfect choice to play a Bond Villain.

[Odd Jobbies]

Although Ola Rapace  was fine as Patrice  in Skyfall, i think Idris Elba  could've been perfect in that role.

[x007AceOfSpades]

I disagree, I think it might have been a distraction. Ola Rapace has this killer instinct look to him that was perfect for him as Patrice.

[Sir Godfrey]

Ola Rapace should have kept his real name in Skyfall because "Patrice" is not really frightening.

Although, I found him very good in Skyfall.

 

Sorry for this off topic !

[x007AceOfSpades]

I think the name was fine. Patrice, a nice sweet name for a cold-blooded killer. It worked.

[Grard Bond]

Patrice was my ex-girlfriend's name, so yeah, cold-blooded is the right word!

 

I think Elba would be a great villian, but even better as a henchman. He would realy be dangerous and kick the living daylights out of Bond.

[x007AceOfSpades]

I'd be upset if he was cast as a henchman, just because he's becoming more well known and what not and to me, it'd be a waste. Three choices for Bond Villains for Bond 24:

 

Idris Elba

Jason Clarke

Guy Pearce

Wouldn't he need that 'killer instinct look' to be the perfect choice of villain ?

[Hansen]

Peter Dinklage

I believe you've misunderstood me my good sir.

 

Peter Dinklage

 

You must be joking?

[Hansen]

As a matter of fact, no. He is a great actor extremely charismatic. Having him as a villain would be surprising, maybe disturbing, but not parodic (I will bet on that)

[x007AceOfSpades]

I'm not denying you at all. He is a great actor and he's certainly come a long way. Just something straight out of left field is all

[Hansen]

More than a gay and blond Javier Bardem ?

[x007AceOfSpades]

Yes, actually

[S K Y F A L L]

So far I like Idris Elba and Daniel Day Louise. Peter Dinkleg is an interesting thought but I don't see it happening, look forward to seeing him in X-Men Days of Future Past thoguh.
