Who should replace Daniel Craig?


There are so many actors that could, but these are my picks

Henry Cavill
Michael Fassbender
Idris Elba
Richard Armitage
Clive Owen

Quite regardless of other aspects, forget everybody but Cavill and maybe Fassbender for age reasons. The producers are going to want someone who can do at least three or four movies, like Craig, which translates to a shelf life of about twelve years. They are not going to pick anybody who is less than ten years younger than Craig, and certainly no one who is four years older, like Owen. I know it sort of happened before with Moore replacing Connery, and even staying on until past early-retirement age, but it's not going to happen again.

It probably wont be any of the above, but if it was Cavill would be my pick.

More than likely they will go with somebody little known.

Lately, I have been pulling for Fassbender or Clive Owen. Henry Cavill isn't bad, but he's a little wooden with the delivery of his lines. As for Idris Elba, nothing against him or the African-American community, but that's not being true to Bond's appearance.

Lastly, Richard Armitage will always be a great as Thorin from the "LOTR" series, but I don't think that he'd be a great fit for the Bond series either.

Idris Elba is from the UK, not American. Stlll a no from me though.
