    I'll go with Ethan Hawke because there is no finer actor today.
    Personally, my favorite candidate is Idris Elba. His personality and physique is perfect for the role.
    Robert Downey Jr. might be pretty damned good.

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned Jason Statham?

    Perhaps because he's older than the current Bond...?

    Too short, otherwise, an emphatic yes.

    Do you think he'd wear a toupee?

    I have an idea:

    Donald Trump!

    Sr or Jr, either would be hilarious.

    The only time those guys are going to be hilarious is when they're in jail.

    So, you're saying they should star in a remake of jailhouse rock instead?

    I think I, the spitting image of James Bond in Dr. No, would be the perfect candidate for James Bond.

    Some of those are really not good choices, but especially Cillian Murphy. There's no way to make that face come off as a good guy. Besides the character he played in the Christian Bale Batman series, he looks like a combo of Toht and Robocob AFTER he was made Robocop.

    As for Taron Egerton, I like him in the Kingsmen role, and wish they'd expand that. Can't say he's too short (Daniel Craig was only 5'10"), but he doesn't look intimidating. Kinda like Pierce Brosnan, just can't take that body seriously.

    I agree, I can't really see Cillian Murphy as anything but a villain. Funny enough, he was very nearly Batman. He and Bale were the finalists for the role.

    They are doing another Kingsman. Egerton does the spy in a suit well.
