Since Daniel Craig stepped down, the search for a new James Bond has intensified. Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have given hints about their search criteria for the next 007, specifying the actor must be a man of any race in his 30s and capable of starring in a decade's worth of films.
Table of Contents Hollywood needs a new James Bond . Ever since Daniel Craig ’s swan song in No Time to Die, the search for the next 007 has been long, tireless, and secretive. The Bond franchise needs a creative reset, which is why the pressure to choose the right actor to play Bond remains higher than it has ever been before. Every name mentioned in reports or on the betting markets is just speculation. However, Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.
Taylor-Johnson fits all of Broccoli’s criteria. The 34-year-old has dabbled in superhero franchises, headlined by his lead role in Kick-Ass and his MCU appearance as Pietro Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Taylor-Johnson’s more recent appearances in Bullet Train and The Fall Guy are good showcases of his comedic skills in action-adventure.
Idris’ inclusion on this list is a bet on F1, Joseph Kosinski’s action film arriving in June 2025. Brad Pitt headlines F1 as Sonny Hayes, a former racer who comes out of retirement to mentor a young hotshot driver, played by Idris. F1 is Kosinski’s follow-up to Top Gun: Maverick and one of the most anticipated blockbusters of 2025. If F1 becomes a hit, it could catapult Idris’ career, similar to how Glen Powell soared to stardom after Top Gun: Maverick.
Aaron Pierre If you didn’t know about Aaron Pierre before 2024, chances are you realized his star potential in Rebel Ridge and bought all of his stock. The 30-year-old Brit only appeared in three films before this year: Old, Brother, and Foe. Other than that, Pierre’s noteworthy roles came on television on shows like Krypton, The Underground Railroad, and Genius.
