But the latest odds seem to hint the fan-favourite Hollywood star, who is married to Sabrina Dhowre, could have the role in the bag. It comes following 61 year old executive producer Barbara Broccoli shared public support for the actor.

circling for years that the British actor, 49, could possibly be the next James Bond.And as it turns out, his name has finally been thrown in as “part of the conversation” to take over the role of the infamous spy from Daniel Craig.Craig, 53, has played the MI6 womanizer since 2006’s “Casino Royale” until the last installment, “No Time to Die” (2021).Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson recently appeared on Deadline’s “Crew Call” podcast and discussed the idea of Elba’s casting.“Well, we know Idris — I’m friends with him and he’s a magnificent actor,” Broccoli said.

Casino Royale. Craig's Bond marked a shift in the franchise: The character was blonde for the first time, and the films got darker as they started to explore more complex themes. Now, with the role available for the first time in 15 years, speculation abounds as to who could be the next For years, Bond fans have suggested that Idris Elba take on the role.

Since it was announced Daniel Craig will be moving on from his role as James Bond, there’s been tons of speculation that Idris Elba will take over the role.

Ever since talk of Daniel Craig stepping away from the role of James Bond first emerged, Idris Elba has consistently been viewed as a frontrunner for the role — in the media, at least.

James Bond, Idris Elba has been “part of the conversation” about who’ll take over from Daniel Craig as 007.Daniel Craig’s last outing as Bond was in 2021’s No Time To Die and since he announced his plans to step down from the role, there has been plenty of speculation about who’ll be the new James Bond.In a new interview with the Deadline Podcast though, producer Barbara Broccoli has responded to the various rumours that Idris Elba will be the next 007.“Well, we know Idris, we’re friends with him, and he’s a magnificent actor. And, you know, it’s been part of the conversation, but it’s always difficult to have the conversation when you have someone in the seat,” she said.“I think we have decided that until No Time to Die has had its run and Daniel has been able to – well, we’ve all been able to savour, reap the benefits of Daniel’s wonderful tenure, we’re not gonna think about, or talk about anybody else.”Previously, Broccoli has said “I think it will be a man because I don’t think a woman should play James Bond.

With Daniel Craig all done as James Bond after the release of “No Time to Die,” there’s a new era of 007 approaching. We clearly don’t have any idea about who might be taking over the role of Bond, but we also don’t really know who might be behind the camera to helm the first iteration of the new era.

MGM and Eon Productions’ No Time to Die has come to represent something greater than just simply Daniel Craig’s final turn in the tuxedo.

James Bond in the franchise.The Witcher actor has been entertaining rumours around playing 007 since it was announced that Daniel Craig would be stepping down from the role following this year’s No Time To Die.“If Barbara [Bond producer Barbara Broccoli] and Mike [co-producer Michael G. Wilson] were interested in that, I would absolutely jump at the opportunity,” he told GQ in 2020.“At this stage, it’s all up in the air.

We just have to find the right actor.”The Bond boss’s latest words

Is it possible that a future James Bond could identify as non-binary? Producer Barbara Broccoli thinks so. 

With the hunt for the next James Bond set to begin next year, the producer behind the hit film franchise is indicating that there could be some major changes in store.

The hunt for the next James Bond is seemingly underway. With “No Time to Die” released all over the world and the days of Daniel Craig’s 007 done as a result, it’s time for producer Barbara Broccoli to begin her search for the next actor to take on the role.

James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has said the next 007 will be a British man of “any ethnicity”.After calls suggesting Bond should be played by a woman, the longtime producer shared her perspective in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter.“I think it will be a man because I don’t think a woman should play James Bond,” Broccoli said when asked about the future of the character.

While No Time to Die producer Barbara Broccoli admitted today that the stewards of the 007 franchise don’t yet know how James Bond will return after Daniel Craig’s swansong as the super secret agent, she did allow, “We’ll figure that one out, but he will be back. You can rest assured James Bond will be back.”

No Time To Die is certainly not immune to that phenomenon, as the finished product came after the “Bond 25” concept turned in by director Danny Boyle and writer John Hodge led to a creative split. While that film never happened, there were some aspects of that production that survived to influence No Time To Die’s finished product.

While the Marvel Studios films seem to be the biggest franchise on the planet right now, able to wrangle some of the best filmmakers working today, the MCU can’t hold a candle to the James Bond franchise when it comes to the caliber of filmmaker absolutely desperate to join. We’ve heard from folks like Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve, who have both made it abundantly clear they would jump at the chance to tackle 007.
