I think he would be better as one of the villains he can play them very well I think the next Bond could be Michael Fassbender

Maybe not Bond, but when they do a Vladmir Putin biopic, it has to be Hiddleston. Something about the shape of the face, if he narrows his eyes a little bit.

Honestly I never digged the idea of Bond as a suffering human being that much; I like more the smug dressman bond types that Moore and Brosnan were. Still, Skyfall was good movie. BTW I think Hiddleston works better as villainous type; this series was not bad, but it helped he had not to do an all good hero.

Hiddleson was a Bond type character in the Jaguar commercials shown in the USA and maybe elsewhere too.

He was "hip and trendy" for about 5 minutes at the beginning of 2016, and now has already hit the has-been list.

Tom did a very good job on this series but i don't think he has what it takes for Bond, nit when i felt Hugh Laurie was constantly upstaging him in their scenes together and when i wished Jed would have preferred Roper over Pine.
That's a terrible sign, i don't mind Tom doesn't have that much muscle Pierce didn't have it either but still had thta extra something to mak ehim my favorite Bond.

He has many good qualities but I'm surprised that he's being considered for Bond (if he truly is). He's a bigger reach than Elba, who had race and age against him, IMO.

Even if he's a bit too old probably, I'd vote for Clive Owen as Bond. These others noted in this thread would never get me excited to go see a Bond film. Clive Owen would.

I cast my vote for Henry Cavill.
Hiddleston is fine for TV but Cavill looks magnificent on big screen.

As charming as Tom H is he doesn't have that ruthlessness and that menacing look in his eye to be cast as Bond like Craig does. I do like the idea of Luke Evans from The girl on a train to be next Bond.

I think Hiddleston's management is heading for a very aggressive campaign of establishing him in Hollywood. His supposed romance with Taylor Swift was so obviously staged that they had to defend it wasn't a PR stunt. Hiddleston has little chemistry with women. I think Bond is definitely their end game.

No chance! Hiddleston is nowhere near threatening or charismatic enough. Bond is a proper hard man to the core whereas Tom comes across as a nice guy. Couldn't pull it off as James Bond in a million years.

Hiddleston is too effeminate.
Matthew Macfadyen would have been perfect.
But the only James Bond for me, will always be Roger.

If it is true that Craig is leaving, I'm sorry too. He is not the usual snarky, witty, pretty boy type that usually plays Bond. IMO he added a new dimension to a rather hackneyed character.

The bond people have already disqualified him because of Taylor Swift.

Well, he did order Vodka Martini in the last episode. Any hint there?

Craig's been very vocal about being done with Bond.

Indeed!
What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

After watching this, I totally agreeHiddleston for Bond!

I'd be sad if Daniel Craig was done playing Bond. He had the right amount of charisma and physicality for the action scenes.

While I agree that it would be refreshing to dump the darkness of recent Bond films, most are far too jaded and miserable these days to buy that sort of film. Sad.

Be nice if they found a cool Sean Connery type with a twinkle in his eye to play Bond and for good measure produced a fun, escapist 007 flick like GOLDFINGER and not a broody, angsty, faux-solemn bore-fest like well, like all the recent 007s have been.

Far too much of a puff. Would make a laughable Bond. They are probably going to have to go to Australia to find the next Bond. England just doesn't produce men with sufficient testosterone for the role anymore.
