British actor says he wouldn't make a good James Bond.

The highly anticipated announcement of the next James Bond has been a topic of discussion for quite some time now. With the retirement of Daniel Craig, all eyes are on the lists of bookies' odds and fan favorites to see who will inherit 007's license to kill. Many have speculated that Taron Egerton, the popular British star, would be a perfect fit for the role after his star-making turn in the Kingsman franchise. However, in a recent interview, Egerton downplayed these suggestions and claimed that he wouldn't be good at it.

At 35 years old, Egerton believes he's too messy for the role and thinks there are many cool, younger actors who would be better suited for it. He also mentioned his admiration for Daniel Craig's tenure as Bond and expressed that the role would be wasted on him. Egerton stated that he's at a point in his life where he's been following the things that speak to him on a creative level, but he's open to more commercial projects in the future.

While Egerton may not see himself as the next Bond, he has certainly proven his spy chops with his roles in the Kingsman films and the hugely popular Netflix action thriller Carry-On. He is currently promoting his new indie crime thriller, She Rides Shotgun, and has recently starred in Netflix's second most-watched movie of all time, Carry-On. Despite his impressive resume, Egerton's odds of becoming the next Bond are currently at 66/1, with other actors like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Callum Turner leading the pack.

As the search for the next Bond continues, there has been a major change in the franchise's creative control. Long-time producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have given complete control to Amazon MGM Studios, with a rumored $1 billion deal. This has resulted in the appointment of David Heyman and Amy Pascal as the new producers and the announcement of Denis Villeneuve as the director for Bond 26. Broccoli has expressed her support for the new team and shared her excitement for Villeneuve's involvement in the project.

With the key figures in place, it seems that the casting process for the next Bond can finally begin. Fans are eagerly waiting for the announcement, and the speculation continues to grow. Who will take on the iconic role? Only time will tell.
