‘Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page Overtakes MCU Star Idris Elba in the Run for Becoming the Next James Bond, but He Is Still Not the Sure-Shot Winner

The discussion about who should play James Bond following Daniel Craig’s
farewell appearance in No Time To Die has been going on for the past year. The
actual announcement is probably going to happen within the next 12 months. So
for now, all we have are the odds. Idris Elba has been in second place for the
previous several weeks in the constantly shifting Bond odds. But one of the most
intriguing and well-known performers in the UK from Bridgerton has just assumed
his place. He is none other than Regé-Jean Page.

Although, there is still an actor who is lessening the chances of Page winning
the role. Let’s see how the Bridgerton [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/bridgerton]
actor is taking over the chances of Elba winning, and the mystery actor who
might win over Page.

REGÉ-JEAN PAGE IS WINNING OVER IDRIS ELBA

Given that the front-runner is only a few steps away winning, there are amazing
odds for him to get the 007 role. Idris Elba is constantly playing the tough guy
in films such as The Suicide Squad, Beast, and Luther, to name a few. However,
this week has placed him at a disadvantage. His chances have become very slim
now that Regé-Jean Page
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-rege-jean-page-gets-the-russo-stamp-of-approval-for-bond-would-make-a-great-james-bond-the-gray-man-directors-suggest/]
has completely outpaced him.

In the Netflix historical drama Bridgerton, Page is most recognized for
portraying Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings. The attractive British-Zimbabwean
actor’s chances have just been reduced by Ladbrokes (Gambling Company), giving
him his best chance in months.

WHO CAN OUTRUN THE BRIDGERTON ACTOR?

Despite his progress, Page is still far behind Henry Cavill
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill], who has the best chance of winning
the Bond odds. Currently, the Superman actor has a 2/1 shot of becoming the new
007. Even though Page is a tad younger than The Witcher
[https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80189685] actor, his chances are excellent
given that he already tried to get the role back in 2005. Sadly, he was passed
up in favor of Craig after being informed he was “too overweight” for the part.

Apart from these three, there are two more actors in the race. George MacKay and
Daryl McCormack are on the list of bookies. It will be interesting to watch who
gets the role in the end.
