The recent James Bond movies in the past decade have been one of the best to bless the industry of Hollywood.

From Daniel Craig to all the way back to Sean Connery, the movie industry has seen some of the finest casino action on screen. You could expect James Bond to fight, fall in love, dress in elegance, and also win the casino duels against his enemies.

With so much entertainment to receive from the James Bond movie franchise, fans always expect the best actors to play the Bond character role. Since Daniel Craig has been playing the latest roles, fans are now wondering who will be the next James Bond.

In this article, we’ll look at some of the actors that can be expected to show up as the most-loved action character in the new upcoming movies:

Henry Cavill

With sharp facial features and a masculine aura, Henry Cavill has always been cast in main character roles that involve action, charm, and mystery.

Apparently, Henry auditioned for the famous James Bond role but had it not been fate that he looked younger, he would’ve been cast. Daniel Craig ended up being more of an impressive choice for the producers since he offered a mature look at the character.

Henry still admires having given a shot to the role at the age of 22 and being part of the conversation, he told in a recent podcast. Now it’s a well-known fact in the casino movie circle that Cavill missed the chance to star as James Bond twice. Having left quite an impression on the producers, it is no wonder that people think Henry Cavill could be the next best James Bond after Daniel Craig.

Taron Egerton

You might have seen this handsome Welsh actor in the Kingsman movies. In all the years starring in spy movies, Taron will now be seen on-screen in the thriller Netflix film called “Carry On”.

Although Taron is taking a huge pivot in his career, he has always been seen by fans as a potential James Bond. Not only does he have the smart and sharp look for it, but he can also act great in mystery and suspenseful scenes. His wonderful acting in a James Bond movie could bring a lot of fame to the franchise, considering how he can carry action scenes well in movies.

What does the actor say about his potential James Bond role rumors?

He says he has never auditioned for the role and never received any phone calls from producers. The role demands seriousness that Taron feels he cannot handle, especially in a 10-year-long movie contract. But whatever the actor’s views may be, his fans believe he could be the next James Bond for the franchise.

Tom Hardy

Often seen starring in action movies and series, Tom Hardy is another competitor for the casino spy role. If anyone can give glamorous and luxurious energy in a traditional black and white suit, it’s definitely Hardy.

His dramatic performances in “Peaky Blinders”, “The Dark Knight Rises”, and the “Venom” franchise have been constantly celebrated by audiences. When asked about the James Bond audition rumors, Hardy preferred to not give any statements on the topic as he believes it could damage his industry work ethic.

While no rumors have been confirmed, fans are convinced that Tom (46 years old) has applied for the role since he has reached the mature age the role requires.

Sam Claflin

A Bond movie fan, Sam Claflin considers Daniel Craig to be the best of the James Bonds there have ever been in history. He claims that Craig might be the only actor who really looks like a secret spy.

But with all the admiration aside, Sam Claflin has something to offer that fans would love to see in the franchise movie.

With movies like “Enola Holmes”, “The Hunger Games”, and “Pirates of the Caribbean”, Sam fits the perfect image of action, mystery, romance, and comedy. He knows how to play a serious role and own it well. And of course, his masculine facial features and broad shoulders could help him bring the inner James Bond out if he scores the role! For now, fans can only hope.

Conclusion

Since Daniel Craig’s last James Bond movie “No Time To Die” was released in 2021, fans have speculated about different Hollywood actors making it onto the screen with the difficult role.

Whether it’s going to be Tom Hardy or Andrew Garfield, whoever the actor they decide will have to impress audiences even more than before. A 007 comeback from the James Bond franchise has to sway the audience with the best choice, keeping in mind the sincerity and commitment the role requires as well.

If you’re excited to find out who the next James Bond is going to be, have a little bit of patience! Because the years to come will bring a lot of funny action-related casino movies to the screen, much like The Hangover. Make sure to mark your calendars when the next 007 movie drops!
