I was thinking it might be a fun exercise to create a cast list of the characters from 007 LEGENDS using contemporary actors who resemble the same actors who originally played their respective characters. Since the game isn't out for another two weeks, this list is by no means complete, but I listed the characters who have been confirmed from each of the mission reveal trailers.

MOONRAKER
Dr. Holly Goodhead
Hugo Drax
Jaws

ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE
Ernst Stavro Blofeld
Tracy Bond

LICENCE TO KILL
Franz Sanchez
Pam Bouvier

DIE ANOTHER DAY
Jinx Johnson
Gustav Graves
Zao

GOLDFINGER
Auric Goldfinger
Pussy Galore
Oddjob

Here are a few ideas to start:

Dr. Holly Goodhead - Michelle Monaghan


Jaws - Nikolai Valuev


Franz Sanchez - Bobby Cannavale


Oddjob - Turbo Kong

^^ You mean Zao, from 'Die Another Day' I guess?

Hmm...good idea! Ok, from that list above of basic characters, here's my little list...


MOONRAKER

KATE BECKINSALE as Dr. Holly Goodhead


TOM SELLECK as Hugo Drax


DOLPH LUNDGREN as Jaws



ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE

LIAM NEESON as Ernst Stavro Blofeld


EMILY MORTIMER as Tracy Bond





I need to think more about the final 3....hmmm....

Whoops! Yes, you're right. I fixed it in the original post.

I'll make an attempt at this, although I don't have someone in mind for all of the parts. I agree with some of those already listed (Monaghan as Holly and Valuev as Jaws, for example):


MICHELLE MONAGHAN as Holly


ANTHONY HOPKINS as Ernst Stavro Blofeld


VIOLANTE PLACIDO as Teresa Di Vicenzo


NIKOLAY VALUEV as Jaws


GUGU MBATHA-RAW as Jinx


ALFRED MOLINA as Hugo Drax


JENNIFER GARNER as Pam Bouvier

Interesting suggestions, tdalton. Alfred Molina as Drax is something I hadn't considered, but it makes a ton of sense.

A left field choice for Blofeld, although I would be hesitant to use him considering he just played a major villain in another iconic film hero franchise, is Tom Hardy.



And for Pussy Galore, perhaps Yvonne Strahovski?

[tdalton]

Tom Hardy would be an interesting choice. It would be a younger Blofeld than we're used to seeing, and one that has a much more significant physicality about him as well.

[thecasinoroyale]

Tom Hardy...nice one.

[coco1997]

A possible choice for Jinx: Morena Baccarin

[Iceskater101]

Tom Hardy as Blofield and Alfred Molina as Hugo Drax are perfectly cast in my opinion.

Brian Cox as Hugo Drax:

Terry O'Quinn as Ernst Stavro Blofeld:

[tdalton]

Quinn would actually be a pretty good choice for Blofeld. I hadn't even thought of him for the role, but I think it would make a good deal of sense.

[coco1997]

Quinn would actually be a pretty good choice for Blofeld. I hadn't even thought of him for the role, but I think it would make a good deal of sense.

When looking at someone to play a character as iconic as Blofeld, it's hard not to narrow your search to bald actors. Guys like Stanley Tucci, Mark Strong and Kevin Spacey are a bit too on the nose, in my book.

Stellan Skarsgard as Goldfinger

Well done.

[tdalton]

Skarsgard is a good choice for Goldfinger, and I like the choice of January Jones as Galore.

Sticking with Goldfinger, I have no idea if they're going to feature Tilly Masterson as a character, but given that the trailers for the game show Jill Masterson, I figure that they might feature Tilly in some capacity:

MAGGIE GRACE as Tilly Masterson

[coco1997]

Any other ideas for Pam or Tracy?
