Daniel Craig’s James Bond films have entertained audiences for 15 years and, now, a new era is approaching. Fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of Bond 26. While it's known that Dune's Denis Villeneuve will be joining the film as its director and Spencer’s Steven Knight is writing the script, it’s still unclear who's playing the next James Bond. Well, after the 2026 Academy Award nominations came out, a new favorite has reportedly emerged amongst the Bond hopefuls, and I’m crossing my fingers that this happens.
If there’s anything all James Bond actors have in common, it’s their on-screen charisma, firm physicality and ability pull off a nice suit. Of course, there are plenty of actors who can fill in 007’s shoes after Daniel Craig. Interestingly, though Showbiz411 claims Jacob Elordi is now at the top of Amazon MGM's Bond 26 wish list, thanks to the 2026 Oscar nominations!
