Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, and Tom Hardy are among the potential candidates to be the new James Bond
No Time To Die marked the end of an era for James Bond on the big screen, but the show must go on. A few days ago, Barbara Broccoli, producer of the films, interviewed Variety and declared that the search for the new 007 will be a very long and complicated process. But it seems that things are going slowly but surely. Through the same medium, it is announced that Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, and Tom Hardy are on the list of potential candidates to play the role of the famous British spy.
Daniel Craig did a terrific job as James Bond during his many years in the role. Although at first, he did not convince many, his interpretation in 007: Casino Royale-95% was enough to show that we were facing a completely spectacular version of the character. Even though some of his films did not turn out well for the critics, No Time to Die was a compact closure for the saga and a nostalgic and emotional farewell for the hero.
Now that 2022 is in its second quarter, Barbara Broccoli and her team are already looking for their new James Bond, that actor who is capable of filling the agent's shoes with elegance and charisma. According to Variety, Cavill, Elba, and Hardy are in line, and Jacob Elordi, who in recent years has gained fame for his appearances in the Kissing Booth movies, is even being mentioned as a possibility.
Cavill is known worldwide for his role as Superman in the DC Extended Universe and for the interesting work he has done in The Witcher - 67% as Geralt of Rivia, the popular Netflix title that adapts the Polish series of fantasy novels of the same name. We have seen Hardy in hits like The Origin - 86%, Mad Max: Fury On The Road - 97%, and last year in Venom: Carnage Unleashed - 45%. For his part, Elba stands out in Hollywood for his work on The Wire and Luther; He is also part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Heimdall, a character we will see a return in Thor: Love and Thunder-76% surely as some variant now that the multiverse has come true. Will any of them be able to get the title of James Bond in the years to come? Only time will give us the answer.
It will be very difficult for Barbara to find the actor who is capable of achieving what Daniel Craig has done, who in recent days has given much to talk about with the premiere of his Broadway play "Macbeth", a staging that is very badly criticized by the press but that at least praises the performances. The producer of No Time to Die spoke highly of her star and co-star, Ruth Negga (Lady Macbeth):
She has incredible range and can do anything. She's just the greatest actor of all time, and I think audiences will love this performance because it's funny, it's dangerous, it's everything you want. Together, he and Ruth, The chemistry between the two, the volatility, it's like fireworks and there's a lot of blood.
