With production getting close to starting for the next Bond movie, there is still no word yet as to who will play the new adversary for the British spy. But could a recent Oscar nominee with help from a Game of Thrones star be the perfect duo to take down James Bond?

Could An Oscar Winner Play James Bond Next?

While it has been speculated for a while now, but 12 Years A Slave star Chiwetel Ejiofor has been long rumored to be the villain in the next movie. The actor has action experience in Serenity and Children of Men and would allow Daniel Craig's Bond to also go up against an award-worthy actor much like he did with Javier Bardem in Skyfall.

Ejiofor has a few projects coming up, but most of them are in post production and the one that is about to start could be bumped if the star wants to make the big leap to the Bond franchise.

'Skyfall' Star Dishes On 'Born Again' James Bond In The Next Movie

With a casting call out for an iconic henchmen, there could be one who has already terrorized many television viewers in Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who just finished up work playing The Mountain in the most recent season of Game of Thrones.

Björnsson has the imposing physique that could give Bond his biggest challenge yet with a henchman, just ask the Viper. But the actor also gave a solid performance in a henchman-like role on the show and could slide into the next Bond movie and be a big hit.

Now he just needs to learn a little English.

Bond 24 is set to open in theaters on November 6, 2015.
