I think Jude Law could do this role.
Henry Cavill in about 10-15 years?
Possibly Orlando Bloom in 10 years
Daniel Craig is done as James Bond

Orlando Bloom would be my least favorite of those options.
But Bond has to be 40's or older; with some distinguishing features (at least in my mind) - e.g. peppered hair, sharp jaw, clean shaven, etc.

Connery was 32 and he set the standard.

Now that would be s fresh take on the franchise. Next iteration is done Roger Rabbit/Cool World style with all live action except for Bond, who will be played by Archer. I would watch this.
When I started the night manager and saw Tom Hiddlestons character I immediately turned to my wife and said he should be the next Bond. when I see him I just think this is what bond should look like.

As would I.
Ben Affleck? hah.
Connery is #1 because he set the standard. And if you re-watch some of those old movies he did, there's a lot of the 1960's camp to them but he's pretty brutal and much like Fleming wrote in the books.
Craig is #2 and apart from being blonde vs. the books having Bond with black hair he's even closer to the character portrayed in the books than Connery.
I have no idea if he'd be considered but a guy out of left-field I think could pull it off is Clive Standen who is currently playing Rollo Lothbrok on "Vikings."

Damian Lewis (If they'd let a red head do it):
Idris Elba is going to be busy making Dark Tower movies for awhile. Still cant understand casting him as Roland, but I guess we will see.
1) Connery - original and the signature Bond guy
2) Moore - don't care what anyone says. There is something about seeing a Bond movie in your youth. Moore was Bond when I grew up. When I saw that Lotus dive into the ocean in The Spy Who Loved Me and transform into a sub, that was the coolest scene I had ever witnessed. Yes, there were some clunkers. But there are some really strong entries as well and the gadgetry makes these entries unique.
3) Craig. I get what they were trying to do and I think Daniel Craig did a great job taking James Bond to a more solemn tone. I probably didn't love him the way many did, but he has been quite strong.
4) Lazenby.
Brosnan and Dalton are unwatchable in my opinion. I have seen many of their movies and never once been able to watch more than 20 seconds when I see them on tv. I find these movies unbelievably cheesy with no redeeming qualities. I know there is irony in me ranking Moore high and calling these guys cheesy, but I am honest

You didn't like Goldeneye?
My favorite Bond movie is Live and Let Die, so I can understand this ranking.

The first Bond movies I watched were The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. When For Your Eyes Only came out on cable, I watched it dozens of times. I only caught up on the Connery films when ABC would show one on their Sunday Night Movie of the Week.
He still holds a special place in Bond lore for me.
Goldeneye >>>> Any Moore movie (Maybe just one > for Spy Who Loved Me)

That would have been the best of the rest for me,but I have no desire to see it again.
1) Connery.
Owner of best movie (Goldfinger) and most good or better movies (5/6, outlier is Diamonds Are Forever). The GOAT.
2) Craig.
Two top 5 movies (Casino Royale and Skyfall) and 3/4 of his films were good or better. Even Quantum of Solace is watchable, if not good. Strong resume.
3) Moore.
Only one good or better movie (The Spy Who Loved Me). However, I enjoy the campy Bonds even if they aren't excellent movies. I'd be lying if I said I didn't stop down for Moonraker or The Man With The Golden Gun. He edges out Brosnan based on volume, despite owning the worst Bond movie ever,
A View To a Kill.
4) Brosnan.
One great movie (Goldeneye), one decent movie if I'm feeling generous (The World Is Not Enough). Owner of the 2nd worst Bond movie (Die Another Day), and maybe the 3rd, depending on how you rank Octo***** compared to Tomorrow Never Dies.
5) Lazenby.
With only one movie on his resume, it'd better be excellent. It's not, but it isn't terrible either. Maybe #10 of all time. Luckily for him, it's better than Dalton's best effort, anyway.
6) Dalton.
Neither of his movies are bad, per se. But they don't feel like Bond movies. The plots aren't over the top. It's not funny. There's really no debate that A License To Kill is a better movie than The Man With the Golden Gun. But is it a better Bond movie? I dunno, maybe I'm a philistine after all.

Whatever happen to Clive Owen?
I heard dude was stuck inside a bank.

No, he walked out.
I've somehow never seen Lazenby's entry to the lore.

He gets married so there's that.
I had really hoped that Craig would end his run with a remake of OHMSS.
I liked him in The Girl With the Dragoon Tattoo, not as Bond however.
I hadn't come across anyone that straight up disliked Craig as Bond.
I really hope we get one more from craig. love the films he's done and he is right up there with Connery for me.
