As soon as Daniel Craig announced in 2019 that “No Time to Die” would be his fifth and final film as international spy James Bond, rumors began — and haven’t stopped — swirling ab…

Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba and even “Euphoria” star Jacob Elordi have been whispered about in relation to the coveted role, and Lashana Lynch became the first woman to hold the 007 title when her role of Nomi took over Bond’s position in the last film.says “it’s going to take some time” before Craig’s replacement is named., which she is producing and in which Craig is also starring. “It’s not just casting a role. It’s about a whole rethink about where we’re going.

Broccoli continued to praise Craig’s acting chops, which she’s supported as a producer for all five of his Bond films, from “Casino Royale” in 2006 to “No Time to Die” in 2021. She was also a producer on Craig’s last appearance on stage, in Sam Gold’s 2016 production of Shakespeare’s “Othello” at New York Theatre Workshop. Gold is directing Craig once again in his adaptation of the Scottish Play, in which Craig stars alongside Oscar nominee Ruth Negga.

“He has an amazing range and he can do anything,” Broccoli said of Craig. “He’s just the greatest actor ever, and I think audiences will be thrilled by this portrayal because he’s funny, he’s dangerous, he’s all the things you would want. Together — he and Ruth — it’s just sexy… The chemistry between the two of them, the volatility, it’s like fireworks and it’s fun and sexy and there’s lots of blood.

The production, alongside a number of other Broadway shows, has faced numerous COVID difficulties, with Craig briefly stepping out of his role after testing positive for the virus earlier this month. “Macbeth” endured an 11-day shutdown, and Gold even filled in for one of his missing actors on April 14, with an assistant stage manager feeding him lines through an earpiece. Broccoli said the company has been “making the most of it,” and lauded Craig’s work at the helm.

“Daniel is such a great company leader,” Broccoli said. “He kept the spirit and the momentum going, because at one time we had 11 of the actors out, including Daniel, so he bounced back and Ruth is incredible… We have a great show and I’m just so pleased that things are looking up.”

How about that guy from Outlander?

New James Bond will be a total reboot that’s mean the role must give to a actor to 180 degres of Craig. Craig was dark, next must be charming and fun. What about Tom Ellis ?

Please cast Theo James as the next Bond , my guys got range and looks the part

There is only one: Regé-Jean Page

IAmAlexPettyfer Y'all . This is my candidate for James Bond , He was born for the role. It is in his blood to be Bond. Not Henry Cavill for everything, He is good and can play the role but I pick IAmAlexPettyfer as the next Bond.

Daniel Craig’s the greatest actor ever, Babs? Really? Please… do take all the time you need to get your head in the right place. Plenty of good choices out there that are, gasp, a thousand times better than Craig.

Here ya go Babs. JamieDornan now you can get on with the rest of your day. Wasn’t that hard was it?

I don't know about Bond, but I'd love to play a villain!

They don’t make Bond films for the fans anymore.

Don't mess with EON, the all-time masters of media manipulation. They've been playing YOU for the last 60 years, newshounds!

Regé-Jean Page!!!!! Totally amazing actor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really ? I expect an announcement before the end of the year 🤔But don’t hold your breath waiting 😅

It’s over. You took the decision to kill the character off. The End

Henry Cavill

Fassbender, Hiddleston or Hardy

Rege-Jean Page for jamesbond

Maybe it's time to retire the series.

Give Brosnan one last standalone pic as an old Bond. You could even still have Dame Judy Dench as M.
