The producers of the James Bond franchise are looking for an actor to commit to the role for the next 10-12 years

This is stated by the producers of the popular franchise, Barbara Broccoli and Michael J. Wilson.

It is still only the beginning of the search, as the two producers stated in a recent interview with the magazine “Variety”, whose task it is not easy to find the true and only one who will continue with honor the role of agent 007.

Daniel Craig has been playing the world’s most famous spy for 15 long years and the producers understand that continuing this role will be an extremely serious commitment for any actor.

Idris Elba, long considered the most likely candidate to be the first dark-skinned Bond, recently said the role “is not his career goal”, thus excluding himself from the shortlist.

“It’s great,” Wilson said in an interview. “We love Idris,” Broccoli added.

“The point is, there will be a hiatus of a couple of years,” the producer noted. “But when we pick Bond, it’s going to be a 10-12 year commitment. So he might be thinking, ‘Do I really want it?’ Not everyone wants it. It was pretty hard to get Daniel Craig to do it. ‘

“Also, Craig at the time [kad sāka filmēties franšīzē] she was in her thirties, “Wilson added to what her colleague said. Idriss Elba celebrated his 50th birthday on September 6 this year.

Engaging in the franchise for many years, Broccoli said, “A lot of people think, ‘Oh, it would be great to be a part of it.’ But it won’t be possible! “

The producer quoted former 007 actor Pierce Brosnan as saying, “More people have walked on the moon than have played James Bond.”

According to bookmaker Ladbrokes, British actor Henry Cavill, 39, is a 2-1 bookmaker favorite.

7: 2 – such odds are provided by “Ladbrokes” for the star of the first season of the series “Bridgerton” Regé-Jean Page (34). He is followed by Idris Elba (50) – 4: 1 and Tom Hardy (45) – 5: 1.
