Matt Smith Wants to be a Bond Villain

Doctor Who to become Doctor No... Jr?

No Caption Provided
The Coventry Telegraph recently reported, that in an interview with Matt Smith, the current star of Doctor Who, Matt said he would like to play a Bond villain in the next Daniel Craig 007 film. 
 
Smith, who plays a very quirky and bizarre version of the Doctor, thinks his looks and acting style could really play off on the big screen. However, he doesn't think he's handsome enough to take on the role of Bond himself, but he thinks he'd make a good, but younger, Bond villain. He said he's never gotten away with playing an attractive leading man, but he's good at playing more odd characters.
 
Most of us have only seen Matt Smith as the Doctor, who is essentially a good guy, when it boils down to it. Could Matt Smith pull off playing a bad guy? If he could, he'd certainly be a charismatic villain and very memorable. 
 
There is no set deals or anything real here. It's just another case of a celebrity saying they want to play a character, so chances of us seeing Matt Smith as a Bond villain is slim-to-nil, but more likely nil. What do you guys think? Would Matt Smith make a good Bond villain?

He's done a great job on Doctor Who, so why not let him be a Bond Villain?

it's to bad that MGM has put the Bond movies on indefinite hold and they're shopping around to sell the franchise to another studio

At this point, it would be nice if MGM actually make another Bond film.

I think he'd be a great Bond villain. He'd be a departure from the usual maniacal businessmen that Bond usually comes up against, I think.

Who doesn't want to be a bond villain?  I could see him as one, though maybe not the main one.  Maybe like the villains assistant or right hand man.

I have a hard time picturing it, but hey, he's pretty darn good in Doctor Who, so I'd like to see him give it a shot.

Well since MGM are in debt, I can't see it happening for a long time. The Bond franchise as been suspended indefinitely.

I think he would make a better new Q, kinda quirky and fast talking, like an opposite of bond it would be funny to see them interact together.

I think if they do what Fraction did with Ezekiel Stane in Iron Man, making him a younger, smarter version of the hero could make things quite interesting. If they have Smith play some wonder child rogue agent or something it could work quite well. The Bond villains of the last couple of decades have hardly been that memorable.

I dunno if Smith could be a good bond villain, he'd make a good Q, even if he is younger than Bond. 
In my opinion, Michael Sheen should be the enxt Bond villain, as Blofelt.

Shave his head and make him the new Blofelt. Young genius thinks he can outsmart all the worlds best agencies by creating his own anti agency. S.P.E.C.T.R.E.!! The current no name or Quantum organization run by grizzled old guys just doesnt provide enough oomph for a Bond film. Open the new movie with him sitting with the old guys and then he kills them all and pronounces Quantum dead and the rise of SPECTRE.

I don't know much about this guy at all, but all I can say is that the next Bond movie needs to be made ASAP.

He'd be great! We've seen him pull off some rather effective menacing looks in DW, and let's face it, he's an all-around phenomenal actor. He's one of the only actors worthy to replace David Tennant, in my opinion.

it'd be cool for bond to go after a maniacal serial killer instead of his standard corrupt politician or businessman.

Hahaha that sentence sounds like a hell of an acid trip. 
I really like Matt Smith, I have never warmed up to a Dr so fast it took just an episode to start liking him. so I hope he gets what he wants.
