James Bond bosses offer update on new 007

As a lifelong Bond fan, I’ve seen my fair share of 007, from Connery to Craig. The anticipation for the next Bond is palpable, and it’s like Christmas morning waiting for Santa to reveal his identity. The criteria set by producers Broccoli and Wilson are intriguing, especially considering the potential for a fresh perspective.


The makers of James Bond have shared new insights into their ongoing hunt for the upcoming 007, providing clearer guidelines regarding the character’s selection.

There’s a lot of talk about who might take over the role of the iconic spy from Daniel Craig, following his departure three years ago, but no official announcement has been made yet.

In a recent chat with the Associated Press, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson declined to share an exact timeline for the forthcoming announcement, but hinted that it would involve a significant choice.

Next up, the duo affirmed that the upcoming James Bond character will be portrayed by a male actor, approximately thirty years old. It’s important to note that his ethnicity isn’t necessarily white in this case. Additionally, the chosen performer should be prepared to dedicate at least a decade to the role.

Speaking about embarking on a fresh chapter, Wilson noted: “Each time we select a new actor for our movies, they take on a unique flavor. It’s thrilling to welcome a new Bond, a new path. Each of these individuals who assumed the role brought something fresh and distinctive.

According to Amazon MGM Studios’ global head, Jennifer Salke, they are not worried about the time lapse between films since the release of No Time to Die in 2021.

She shared with The Observer that numerous intriguing suggestions about possible candidates have emerged, which she finds compelling. In her opinion, there are multiple paths we could take.

As a devoted gaming enthusiast, I’m honored to be on friendly terms with Eon, Barbara Broccoli, and Michael G Wilson – the brilliant minds behind the iconic Bond movies. We have no intention of meddling with the enchanting process they’ve perfected over time. Instead, we choose to learn from their masterful approach, aiming to create our own unique gaming experiences that align with their cinematic excellence.

She mentioned: “The worldwide viewers will understand. We aim for a reasonable gap between movies, but there’s no immediate worry on our part at the moment.

Meanwhile, Craig recently admitted he doesn’t “care” about who succeeds him in the role of Bond.
