Who should be the next Bond villain?

After watching Insomnia I've come to the opinion that Stellan Skarsgård would make a superb Bond villain. He's someone that's recognizable but many might not remember from where (Good Will Hunting, Hunt for Red October, Ronin, Unbearable Lightness, Amistad).

Who else should/could be a candidate (like we have any influence) ?

As an actor, hmmmmm? How about Sean Connery? How ironic that would be.

But as a villian, we need someone classic or at least cool enough to remember or fear.

Sean Connery would be an awesome villian. They could throw in some lines as a joke of Sean playing Bond before. Sort of how there was the 20th watch joke in Die Another Day.

guy pierce would be a cool arrogant villain but since they had someone like that in the last one maybe stuart wilson from the mask of zorro. he was a great villain.

Good point on Pierce but his role in The Count of Monte Cristo is quite similiar to that of Graves from Die Another Day.

Id like to see Bonds face a black villian or a very recognizable face my choices would be:

Ving Rhames
Christian Bale
Bruce Willis
Sam Jackson

I think Bond needs to face a truly insane villain, played by an actor who can really chew up the scenery. How about Gary Oldman?

Christopher Walken - because Christopher Walken can make any role cool! Hell, the man was one of the saving factors of 'Batman Returns' (that and Piefer in leather... ). Not to mention he was even cool in the craptacular Fatboy Slim music video.

I will go and see any movie with Christopher Walken, even that new crappy movie with 'The Rock' in it. And I would go see a new Bond movie if Walken was in it - and that's saying a lot, as I have never made it all the way through a Bond movie!

I was reading along and I realized that it was Mr. Walken in A View To A Kill... but all I remember from that movie is May Day (Grace "I'm Really a Man" Jones).

Max Zorin

Spectre

... I'm gonna go ahead and throw Jason Isaacs into the mix. He'd be a perfect match for a Bond villian.
