James Bond, the martini-drinking, tuxedo-wearing British secret agent, celebrates his 60th birthday on the big screen this Wednesday (5). But who will be the next actor to take on the iconic role?
According to brothers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, producers of the franchise, the search for a new actor hasn’t even begun after Daniel Craig’s final departure as the soft-spoken superspy in the 2021 film No Time to Die.
“We won’t really be looking for an actor for some time,” Broccoli said in an interview ahead of the 60th anniversary of the world premiere of “007 vs. the Satanic Dr. No”, the first Bond film, on October 5, 1962.
“What we have to do is start a new reinvention, which is what’s exciting about being in this place right now,” added Broccoli.
But as fans continue to speculate about who will be cast in one of Hollywood’s most sought-after roles, what traits are producers looking for in the next actor to play Bond?
“We want, first and foremost, a good actor, an actor who is not necessarily an action actor, but someone who can play what we hope will be the demanding roles that we write in the scripts,” Wilson said.
“That’s certainly, I think, number one, but it’s so difficult… I mean, if you look at the actors who played Bond, it’s very difficult to define any common traits,” he added.
Broccoli said choosing the right actor was critical to the franchise’s success.
