He should be the next James Bond!!


Dont get me wrong, I like Daniel Craig but after reading the books I really see alot of the real Bond in him. what do you think??

reply

Excellent idea, but he's definitely aging.

He'd be a great Bond baddie, that's my honest opinion.

I agree Skid!

Lol, it's funny, because I remember as a kid watching Mark Strong in a show on british tv called 'Our Friends in the North' in which he starred with Daniel Craig! And if you'd asked me then which of the actors in that show would have been most likely to have gone on to play Bond, I would have said.....Christopher Eccleston. No lie.

Are you immune to aging?

reply

Dunno about Bond himself. He'd make a great ally or henchman.

He would have made the quintessential Bond ( imo ) but as others have said age is creeping up , i say the same about Idris Elba , 5-10 years ago sure but now ,pushing it a little , honestly at the least a 00, shame because hes a bloody good actor.

OMG!!!!! Came here thinking that I would have to start a thread but you beat me to it.
I totally agree. Mark Strong would be an excellent James Bond.
He's been one of my favorite actors for a while; but oddly, never made the James Bond connection until I watched the trailer for The Brothers Grimsby (which I'm not sure if it'll be any good, but fingers crossed)

Mark can bring the sexy, the charm, the physicality and the humor.

Hmmm. What director would you partner him up with?
