Following several rumors regarding casting for the next James Bond, producer Barbara Broccoli has a sobering update on the overall process.
Barbara Broccoli, one of the producers behind the James Bond franchise, has a disappointing casting update. For years now, speculation over who will be the next actor to play James Bond has run rampant. Daniel Craig was the most recent performer to don the 007 codename, but 2021's No Time to Die marked his swan song.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with LADbible, Broccoli has a rather disappointing update regarding the casting process for the next film, dubbed Bond 26. Some rumors have claimed that actors like Taylor-Johnson have already arisen as frontrunners for the role. However, Broccoli has put such rumors to rest by confirming that the film isn't as deep into development as previously thought.
Everything We Know About The New James Bond Film With no script or cast, details about Bond 26 have been few and far between. However, Broccoli's update shouldn't be seen as too disappointing, as it is in line with her previous statements. In the summer of 2022, she stated that the film was still at least 2 years away from filming.
Broccoli has also shed a bit of light on the nature of Bond 26's premise. One of the reasons why the casting, filming, and script are so far off is that Bond 26 has big plans for James. Broccoli explained that a script cannot be prepared until the production crew decides what they want to do with the character. This answer isn't as simple as it may seem because Bond 26 wants to "reinvent" 007 completely.
The biggest question remains who will end up playing the next Bond. While casting hasn't begun, producer Michael G. Wilson did weigh in on fan casting with a reminder that Bond is an experienced mature veteran. Hence, to qualify for the role, an actor will need to be at least in his 30s, which narrows the pool slightly by ruling out fan choices like Tom Holland and Jacob Elordi. Meanwhile, Broccoli also confirmed that, despite interest in Lashana Lynch taking over, Bond will remain male.
