No.There is no day that passes without someone not bringing new information about the next James Bond to the media. It is useless to deny it: the wait for Daniel Craig’s successor is very strong. And the names continue to alternate on specialized sites and tabloids.

In these hours we are discussing the statement of a British journalist, according to which the producers of the film saga are looking for a protagonist in his thirties. But that’s not all … And so we are forced to change our full names.
The new hypothesis about the age and height of James Bond
Before the statements of Ross King, correspondent of the program Lorrainethe eligible actors for the next role of Agent 007 were Henry Cavill (in this last period the favorite according to the bookmakers), Tom Hardy, Idris Elba And Regé-Jean Page.
But the journalist explained: “The last rumor circulating – and in some ways we cannot exclude that it may correspond to the truth – is that producers are looking for a younger Bond. Someone in their thirties, probably. Ultimately they want someone who can be James Bond in the next three films. “
He continued: “They want someone to carry the franchise forward like Daniel Craig did. Another thing they say is that it must be more than five feet tall“.
Change the list of eligible candidates 007
Ross King’s statements therefore oblige us to review our full names.
Self Cavill – interpreter, among other roles, of Superman ne The man of steel and in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – he turned 39 in May, too Tom Hardy it would therefore seem out of the game. The actor – who received international recognition in 2010 in Inception by Christopher Nolan – next September 15th it will shut down 45 candles.
Also the Duke of Hastings of Bridgerton, Regé-Jean Page it would risk exclusion, even if in reality it is still at an altitude 34 years. A figure that could still be acceptable to producers (provided that the rumor had to be confirmed). Idris Elbafinally, he is a happy fifty-year-old. The conclusions are up to you …
But as the list of names gets thinner, the aforementioned reporter Ross King added a name: is that of Sam Heugan. The Scottish actor (who, in fact, is 42) is best known for her role in the television series Outlander. According to the journalist, the producers of 007 are also thinking about him, despite his age.
The producer of the saga: «We want to reinvent Bond. But we’re not in a hurry “
Among so much uncertainty remains a certain fact: the producers of the saga are looking for a name that can be the protagonist of several films, as it happened with Daniel Craig (who stated that he would not look favorably on a female 007 agent) for Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Specter And No Time to Die.
It is also certain that in all this research haste will not be contemplated. A few weeks ago, the same producer Barbara Broccoli told a Deadline: «We want to reinvent Bond. Nobody is in a hurry, we are working on the character, we talk about it in depth. There isn’t a script and we can’t even write one until we decide how we’re going to approach the character, because we really want to recreate Bond. And this takes time ».
