One of cinema’s most hotly debated and contentious topics is who will play the next James Bond. After Daniel Craig well and truly ended his stint as 007 in 2021’s No Time to Die, long-time Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have been left with an incredibly tough task.
After embodying Bond in five films over fifteen years, Craig has left some huge shoes to fill while opening the door for another fellow actor to take on the role of a lifetime. In 2021, when asked during a BBC Radio 4 interview if a decision had been made as to who would replace Craig, Broccoli said: “Oh, God no. We’re not thinking about it at all.
“We want Daniel to have his time of celebration. Next year we’ll start thinking about the future.”
