Potential Future James Bond?

After seeing Madden in Game of Thrones I've been wondering if he has the potential to take up the mantle of 007. Admittedly I've only seen him in the one role (I can't really count his brief screen-time in Chatroom) but from what I've seen he has the talent, charm and charisma to play Bond. Also many other posts I've seen about his acting on both stage on screen have been positive and paint him as a talent to watch out for.

The biggest point against him right now is his age. However Craig is doing anywhere from 2-5 more Bond films putting Madden in his early to mid 30's by the time the role becomes vacant, which I don't think is a bad time to start.

Just thought I'd throw it out there and see how people react.

It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.

The blond James Bond is doing a pretty good job. I think a ginger one would do fine. I can't see Kit Harington playing Bond (I could see him playing the part Ben Whishaw is playing now and if he and Richard re-teamed in that fashion in the future, I'd watch that Bond movie over and over again). Richard would make a good Bond down the road, I think Daniel Craig will be doing the job for at least the next 5 years or more.
