Dan Stevens hasn't been appearing on many bookies' lists as of late, despite the fact he's arguably the strongest fit to take over from Craig's Bond.

His phenomenal performance in the 2014 thriller The Guest proved beyond any doubt that he's got the looks, the acting chops and the brutality to play Bond.

He also looks a hell of a lot like a younger Craig, and while physical continuity between Bonds isn't at all necessary, if they want to keep 007 a hothead assassin, Stevens would absolutely nail it.

He's the right age, he's 6 feet tall and he's got plenty of acting cred but not too much fame. Basically, he ticks a lot of boxes, and as long as his FX show Legion doesn't get in the way, he feels like an incredibly persuasive candidate.
