Red top rag The Daily Star is claiming that British actor Tom Hardy is being lined up as a potential successor to Daniel Craig when he steps down from the role.
Craig has two more films on his current contract: Bond 24 (2015) and Bond 25. Thereafter, it is presumed he would be given first refusal on a further, sixth, film.
A 'source' for the tabloid said: "Although Craig is signed up for the next two Bond films the search for his replacement is already on. Tom is right at the top of the wish list. He’s been approached to gauge his interest and he’s keen. He’s a respected actor with a great back catalogue of films but most importantly he’s the type of guy that all men want to be like and all women want to be with. He’s perfect Bond material.”
Hardy, 35, has been positive about the idea when asked in recent years. “I’d love to play Bond with Chris Nolan as director or something, it’d be awesome.”
It is understood that Nolan has been courted to helm a future Bond outing, too.

Favourite James Bond Films: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible and any upcoming action films starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good because he'll need it to expand his reputation as an actor, especially in the action realm)
Favourite Films: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Harry Potter, Middle-Earth, The Matrix, Mission: Impossible

Based on Skyfall's nonsensical success and recognition and Pierce's poor treatment from the b1tch, the next Bond should be played by either an unattractive actor or a fighter/wrestler who can act. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!

Hardy will be in his mid-40s when the Bond role becomes vacant in about 2020. And that is only if Daniel Craig were to make only two more Bond films.

I really can't see Hardy as Bond but it's the sort of choice that would appeal to Babs.

There is no way Cubby Broccoli would have considered Tom Hardy for Bond. Good actor but not Bond material.
