Subsequent James Bond – The stars already ‘rejected’ in line with 007 writer

Who would be the subsequent James Bond?

That’s the query 007 followers have been asking ever since Daniel Craig stated No Time To Die can be his ultimate outing as Ian Fleming’s spy.

And following that explosive ending we all know for positive it definitely was.

However, it’s now been 18 months because the movie hit cinemas and we’re nonetheless awaiting that official announcement of simply who his substitute can be.

Nevertheless, hypothesis is rife, particularly over the bookies’ odds that at present have the likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Henry Cavill with one of the best possibilities of being solid apparently.

Yet regardless of all of the hype, James Bond writer Charlie Higson has shared why sure stars have already “been rejected”.

Higson was chatting with The Telegraph to advertise his new 007 journey, On His Majesty’s Secret Service, set simply two days earlier than the Coronation of King Charles III.

The writer claimed of hypothesis across the subsequent Bond: “As soon as the papers say so-and-so is being considered as the next James Bond, you know that they’re not going to be the next James Bond. You know that they’ve been rejected.

“Eon, who make the films, play their cards very close to their chest and a lot of times they really surprise people. In particular, Daniel Craig – nobody had any idea at all that he might be Bond and if you’d been asked in advance, you’d have said, ‘Daniel Craig, James Bond? Surely not’.”

Higson’s evaluation wouldn’t solely rule out the likes of Taylor-Johnson and Cavill, but in addition different favourites like Tom Hardy, Regé-Jean Page, Idris Elba, Paapa Essiedu, Richard Madden and James Norton.

The writer added on Bond producer Barbara Broccoli’s technique: “Any doubts you might have had [over Craig] immediately go out the window [after Casino Royale]. So they’re pretty clever on that front and they will inevitably wait to make the announcement at the right time to get the maximum amount of publicity.”
