The dust has barely settled around Spectre and already speculation is in overdrive about who will replace Daniel Craig as debonair British spy James Bond.

Fans of the series have been agitating for a new Bond for years, but a recent interview in which Craig said he'd rather "slash his wrists" than play Bond again seems to all but confirm his exit.

Spectre also neatly wraps up Craig's stint as 007 and leaves the door open for another actor to suit up and join the franchise.

But who? We've compiled a list of international stars - big and small - who have our vote.

Damian Lewis

Best known for his role on Homeland, Damian Lewis has emerged as a frontrunner to replace Craig.

According to Daily Mail, the English-born actor, 44, has been given an "unofficial nod" from producers to be the first in line to star as the next 007.

Lewis has a great on-screen intensity which would be perfect for the role, while also bringing more depth to the character as seen during Craig's term.

Idris Elba

​What would this list be without mention of Idris Elba? Fans of the Ian Fleming series constantly mention the 43-year-old as their pick to replace Craig.

Elba possesses a swagger and grittiness perfect for a modern portrayal of 007, despite being controversially called by "too street" for the role by James Bond author Anthony Horowitz.

The Wire actor has ruled out playing the spy - for now - saying he doesn't want to be known as the "black James Bond".

Michael Fassbender

Not only does Fassbender possess James Bond-esque stunning good looks, he's also an incredible actor.

The 38-year-old is hot property in Hollywood right now, giving critically-acclaimed performances in Steve Jobs, 12 Years a Slave and Macbeth.

Fassbender also has action-movie credentials, slated to set to star in the upcoming film adaption of video game Assassin's Creed.

With the perfect mix of ruggedness and charm, the statuesque German-born actor should be a frontrunner for James Bond.

​Tom Hardy

At the age of 38, Tom Hardy would also be one of the youngest actors to play James Bond, but could usher in an overhaul of the 62-year-old storyline.

Like Fassbender, Hardy is a terrific actor and is able to completely transform between roles, as seen in The Dark Knight Rises and Mad Max: Fury Road.

The English star would bring intensity and a psychological edge to James Bond, all the while playing a modern Mi6 agent thanks to his heavily tattooed arms and youthfulness.

Alexander Skarsgard​

Best known for his long-running role on True Blood, Skarsgard's star is about to shine a lot brighter after being cast as Tarzan in the upcoming 2016 film.

At 194cm, the Swedish-born actor has the perfect build to play James Bond, while also possessing the same striking blue eyes which made Daniel Craig a household name.

Skarsgard's best quality though, is that he's a real life adventurer, trekking to the South Pole with Prince Harry and serving in the Swedish military before becoming an actor.

Andrew Lincoln

Certainly an 'out there' suggestion, but Andrew Lincoln could make for one of the best James Bonds we have seen.

Famed for starring on US series The Walking Dead, Lincoln is actually an English actor who has starred in British series Wuthering Heights and rom-com Love Actually.

He's already displayed an aptitude for being equal parts rugged and fragile on The Walking Dead, and would bring more depth to James Bond than Daniel Craig did.
