Well, he does not have to be England, as long as he from the British isles (United Kingdom). Connery is from Scotland, Pierce Brosnan from Ireland, Timothy Dalton from Wales, and Lazenby from Australia. Only Roger Moore was British. I think the folks across the pond regard Bond as their property. Mortensen would be out. From what I read, it is not a fait accompli that Brosnan will not return. I suspect they will meet his demands, and he will be back for another film or two.

Clive Owen has the look and darker personality, but I am not sure he would wear well for more than one or two films. Jude Law has been mentioned. He has the lighter side of Bond, more of a Moore type, but not sure about the physical presence. Crowe is a little too gritty for me. Crowe is a little like a bull in a china shop. Not enough grace. Too rough around the edges.
