Who Can Be the Next 007? James Bond’s Producers Hint at What Fans Can Expect From the Next Star of the Franchise

As a longtime follower of the James Bond franchise and a connoisseur of cinema, I eagerly await the announcement of the new 007. Having seen Daniel Craig carry the mantle for nearly two decades, it’s bittersweet to bid him farewell. However, as Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson hinted, change is an integral part of the Bond franchise.


Daniel Craig played James Bond for nearly 20 years, but every great thing eventually concludes. After Craig retired from the part in 2021 with “No Time to Die,” the producers of this popular series are seeking a fresh face to carry on the tradition. For the past three years, there has been much speculation and gossip about who will succeed Daniel Craig as 007. The secretive producers have remained tight-lipped until now, but they’ve begun dropping hints about what fans can anticipate in the new Bond character.

For several years, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have been responsible for the Bond franchise. Although they haven’t revealed who might play the iconic role next, they did make some points clear. The potential candidate is likely to be a man in his 30s, with at least a decade of experience under his belt. It is not essential that the new leading actor will be Caucasian.

Broccoli shared with AP News that every actor chosen to play the iconic British agent, Bond, has faced critics initially, yet over time, fans have embraced and admired the unique qualities each actor brought to the films. She further explained that with a new Bond comes a fresh perspective and change in the movies. Each of these actors contributed something novel and distinct to the role.

There’s been a lot of chatter online about potential candidates for the next 007, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jacob Elordi, and Callub Turner being some of the names tossed around. Among these contenders, Taylor-Johnson appears to be the fan favorite based on online discussions.
