The identity of the world’s most famous secret agent won’t be revealed anytime soon.
Ever since Daniel Craig hinted that he no longer wanted to retain the part of James Bond, there has been speculation as to who would take over the role.
Craig is the 7th actor to portray 007, following in the footsteps of Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan. Having starred as the secret agent since 2006’s Casino Royal, the Knives Out star confirmed that No Time to Die would be his final outing as Bond.
Several names have been thrown into the martini glass as Craig’s replacement, including Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Regé-Jean Page, and even Gillian Anderson. But Bond’s producers are putting the whole idea on hold.
“We’re not thinking about it at all,” said Barbara Broccoli. “We want Daniel to have his time of celebration. Next year we’ll start thinking about the future.”
Hardy is currently the bookies’ favorite with odds of 3/1.
