What does every good James Bond movie need? If you answered awesome cars, lots of action, dapper suits and beautiful women, you'd be half right. What every good Bond film needs is an excellent villain. But who would face off with Daniel Craig on his next great adventure?

Benedict Cumberbatch, one of the best British actors of this generation, seems to be tailor-made to play a Bond villain. He has the right tone of voice (see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug), lethal mannerisms (see Star Trek: Into Darkness), and he looks damn good in a suit (see Tumblr).

Eon Productions, if you cast Mr. Cumberbatch in the role of a Bond villain, not only will you please the masses of fans who wish to see him in such a role, but you will also help Mr. Cumberbatch become the undisputed king of social networking fangirls the world over.

In all seriousness, it would make a lot of people, mostly Mr. Cumberbatch's fans (which are many, including myself and many of the signatures on this petition) very happy, and give a great actor yet another career-defining role.
