Daniel Craig
While there is no official word yet on who will be the next James Bond, many fans and critics are speculating that it will be Daniel Craig. Craig has played the role of Bond in four movies so far, and many believe he is the perfect choice to take on the iconic character again.
Although nothing has been confirmed, it seems likely that Craig will return as Bond for at least one more movie. He has spoken openly about how much he enjoys playing the role, and he seems to have a good working relationship with the people behind the franchise. Additionally, Craig is one of the most popular actors to ever play Bond, so it makes sense that producers would want to keep him around.
Of course, there is always a chance that someone else could end up playing James Bond in the next movie. But if we had to guess, we’d say that Daniel Craig is probably going to be the one donning the tuxedo once again.
Tom Hiddleston
There have been many candidates for who will play the next James Bond, but one name that has been consistently mentioned is Tom Hiddleston. Hiddleston is a British actor who is best known for his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Loki. He has the suave looks and debonair attitude that would make him a perfect fit for the role of James Bond. He also has the acting chops to pull off a complex character like Bond.
Idris Elba
Idris Elba is one of the frontrunners to take on the iconic role of James Bond. Elba is a highly acclaimed actor, known for his roles in shows like Luther and The Wire, and movies like Beasts of No Nation and Star Trek: Beyond. He has the charisma and presence to pull off the suave spy, and many are calling for him to become the first black James Bond.
Tom Hardy
Many Hollywood insiders are predicting that Tom Hardy will be the next actor to take on the iconic role of James Bond. Hardy has been rumored to be in the running for the role for several years, and many believe that he is finally ready to take on the challenge.
Hardy is no stranger to playing tough guy roles, and he has the physicality and charisma that would make him a perfect fit for Bond. He also has a sense of humor, which would be necessary to portray the character with the right mix of charm and charisma.
Whether or not Hardy ultimately gets the role, it is clear that he would be an excellent choice to play one of cinema’s most iconic characters.
Jamie Bell
Jamie Bell is an English actor and dancer who rose to prominence for his debut role in the 2002 film Billy Elliot, for which he won the BAFTA for Best Actor in a Leading Role. He is also known for his roles in the films King Kong (2005), Jumper (2008), The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (2011), and Snowpiercer (2013).
Jack Reynor
Jack Reynor, who starred in The Transformers: Age of Extinction, is being considered for the role of James Bond. According to reports, Reynor has met with director Antoine Fuqua and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson about the role. He is said to be one of the frontrunners for the role, along with Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston.
Aidan Turner
Aidan Turner is the current front-runner to star as the next James Bond. He has the acting chops and the smoldering good looks to pull off the role, and he’s already proven himself in a major franchise with his role in The Hobbit films. If he were to be cast as Bond, he would be the perfect choice to take over for Daniel Craig.
Luke Evans
As of right now, the frontrunner to take on the iconic role of James Bond is Welsh actor Luke Evans. Evans, who is best known for his roles in The Hobbit and Fast & Furious 6, has been rumored to be in the running for the role for some time now.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, sources close to the situation say that Evans is the top choice for the role. If he does get the part, Evans would be the first non-British actor to play Bond in the franchise’s history.
Other actors who have been rumored to be up for the role include Tom Hardy and Idris Elba. No matter who ends up getting cast, one thing is for sure: whoever plays Bond in the next movie will have some big shoes to fill.
Richard Armitage
While we don’t know for certain who will take on the iconic role of James Bond after Daniel Craig, there are some frontrunners in the running. One name that has been generating a lot of buzz lately is Richard Armitage.
The British actor is best known for his roles in “The Hobbit” trilogy and “Spooks,” and he has the rugged good looks and smoldering charisma that would make him a perfect fit for 007. He also has the acting chops to pull off the more emotional scenes that Craig brought to the role.
Armitage isn’t the only name being tossed around as a potential replacement for Craig, but he is certainly one of the most intriguing contenders. Whoever ends up landing the role, we’re sure they’ll have big shoes to fill.
Dominic Cooper
Dominic Cooper is a British actor who is best known for his roles in Captain America: The First Avenger and Agent Carter. He has also appeared in the films An Education and Me Before You. Cooper is rumored to be in the running to take over the role of James Bond from Daniel Craig.
