10 Actors Who Should Play Future James Bond Movie Villains

10. David Tennant

While David Tennant is typically a television actor, if you’ve ever seen any of his performances, you know he is more than capable of making the transition to the big screen if given a proper chance.

Tennant's most famous for playing a larger than life hero in ‘Doctor Who’, but his dramatic roles demonstrate just how much range he has. His work in ‘Broadchurch’ is a perfect example, as he portrays a severely broken character struggling with loss and failure, while desperately trying to redeem himself.

It is this ability to give such layered performances that would make Tennant a fantastic Bond Villain. It would make the audience highly sympathetic to any character he was to portray, a necessity for any great villain, as it makes them that much more memorable and compelling.

It must also be remembered that Tennant is no stranger to playing villains. His work as Kilgrave, in Netflix’s ‘Jessica Jones’ was particularly incredible, and really gave life to the smooth talking, obsessive, and maniacal sociopath.

Tennant also gave Kilgrave an unpredictability and intensity, that heightened his insanity, and made the performance that much more enjoyable to watch.

Take that unpredictable insanity, swap the mind control for unlimited resources, an obsession with Jessica Jones for an obsession with James Bond, and you’ve got the building blocks of a great villain for 007.
