The search for Daniel Craig's successor as James Bond continues, and it seems like the producers are keeping their cards close to their chest. Recently, a British TV actor shared that he was rejected for the role, adding to the mystery of who will ultimately take on the iconic spy.
Despite much speculation, there is still no solid answer as to who will be the next 007. Names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and James Norton have been thrown around as potential contenders, but one actor has confirmed that he is out of the running. Phil Dunster, known for his role as Jamie Tartt in Ted Lasso, revealed that his agents had approached the Bond casting department, but they were turned down.
However, Phil did share his thoughts on other actors who could potentially take on the role. He mentioned Sope Dirisu from Gangs of London and Jack Lowden from Slow Horses as possible Bond candidates. It's clear that Phil has a love for the franchise and is rooting for someone to take on the iconic role.
Meanwhile, another actor who has been rumored to be the next Bond is Jack O'Connell, currently starring in SAS Rogue Heroes. Fans have been vocal about their desire to see Jack as the next 007, with many praising his performance in the show. Even Ted Lasso himself, Jason Sudeikis, has joined in on the speculation, tweeting that he thinks Jack would make a great Bond.
Of course, the most talked-about actor in relation to the Bond role is Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Reports have claimed that he has been offered the role, although this has been denied. Despite this, Aaron has not shut down the rumors and has instead chosen to focus on promoting his current project, Kraven The Hunter.
The Bond producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, have remained tight-lipped about the casting process. However, they did reveal that they are looking for a man in his 30s for the role, and that whoever they choose will bring something new and different to the franchise. This has led to many names being thrown into the mix, including Idris Elba, Theo James, and even Josh O'Connor from The Crown.
On the other hand, Daniel Craig, who played Bond for 15 years, has made it clear that he has no interest in who will take over the role. When asked about it, he simply responded, "I don't care." It's understandable that he may be ready to move on from the role, having dedicated so much of his career to it.
As the speculation continues, fans and industry insiders alike eagerly await the announcement of the next James Bond. While we may not know who it will be just yet, one thing is for sure - whoever takes on the role will have some big shoes to fill.
