Until now, he was on the top of the list of potential Bond. However, as Express noted, Aaron Taylor-Johnson just replaced the 40-year-old actor in the top position. Therefore, currently, Taylor-Johnson is on #1 followed by 5-2 James Norton, and then comes The Witcher star.

These three actors have been in the top 3 positions, followed by other actors suchh as Tom Hardy, Richard Madden, Regé-Jean Page, and Jack Lowden. Idris Elba was also one of the favorites for the iconic role. However, he was beaten by these other actors.

Whoever ultimately assumes the mantle of James Bond will undoubtedly face immense pressure and scrutiny. The next installment in the franchise will mark the beginning of a new era. It will bring fresh perspectives and innovative storytelling to captivate both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. Barbara Broccoli also spoke about the casting process as well.

Will Henry Cavill, turning 40, affect his chances of getting this iconic role?

As per Barbara Broccoli’s previous comments, the franchise has not yet begun the casting process. However, they are looking for an actor who could commit to the role for a longer period. The British actor just turned 40. Therefore, there might be a slight hindrance for the actor to get the role.

Nevertheless, his performances in Mission: Impossible – Fallout and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. have showcased his ability to handle intense action sequences and deliver witty one-liners. It definitely makes him an interesting and a viable choice for the role. The Enola Holmes actor has also previously auditioned for the role. However, because of his unfit physique, he did not get the part.

But fans will still have to wait for the franchise to finally reveal who would be the next James Bond.
