![]() ![]() ![]() It’s not unprecedented for Bond actors to come back after a break. The most important criteria was if the actor could bring the necessary gravitas, style and charm to playing Britain’s most famous secret agent. So as the James Bond franchise turns 60, we looked at actors born in the Commonwealth, at actors well into their 60s and 70s, and, yes, at several actors who are women. Of course, as Agent 007 knows better than most, rules are meant to be bent, if not broken outright. So before diving into our extensive list of possible candidates, it’s worth acknowledging that producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson have been clear about three things: The next Bond should be played by a Brit the next Bond should be young enough to be able to continue in the role for at least 15 years and the next Bond will be a man, not a woman. (It never made much sense that Sean Connery’s Bond from the 1960s and Pierce Brosnan’s Bond from the 1990s were the same person, anyway.)

They range from more obvious household names to some less familiar faces who could end up leaving us shaken and stirred down the line. Below, we've run the rule over 25 of the leading names to replace Daniel Craig as the iconic secret agent. If you believe the latest reports, there could even be a fresh frontrunner that fits the mold of a slightly younger Bond. That could very well rule out perennial frontrunners Cavill and Idris Elba, the latter of which has seemingly distanced himself from any future search. Wilson have also said they want the next Bond to stick around for a decade, while Wilson specifically made reference to a "thirtysomething" Bond. Officially, however, the race to replace Daniel Craig as 007 hasn't really started.īond bosses Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. With his dual departures from The Witcher and DC, Henry Cavill is currently one of the bookies' favorites to be the next James Bond. Who's next in line to play James Bond after Daniel Craig?
