Tom Hardy as the next James Bond wouldn’t be half as interesting as casting him as this iconic 007 villain

Tom Hardy has been a fan-favorite casting for James Bond for years now and there's no doubt he does have talent and appeal for the role.

However, there is another character in the 007 franchise that we think he would be even better for.

The iconic villain Red Grant, originally played by Robert Shaw in From Russia With Love, would be perfect for Hardy.

Since Hardy is a bit older and already an established star, his role as a villain could kill two birds with one stone by incorporating a fresh storyline and leaving the hero role open for a less known actor.
