Producers have stated that the actor chosen for the role of the next James Bond must commit to a decade's worth of movies.

Daniel Craig won't be taking over as James Bond after the ending of the most recent movie, 2021's No Time to Die.

In order to find the next secret agent, British producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are searching. "When we cast Bond, it's a 10–12 year commitment," they said in an interview with Variety. Not everyone desires to carry out that. Getting Daniel Craig to agree to it was difficult enough.

For ten years or longer, actors including Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig all played the part. Even though the creators claim that it is still "early days," individuals are making predictions about who they believe will fill the shoes.

Since Dr. No in 1962, there have been 25 James Bond movies, and it appears that there will be more spy thrillers in the future.

You can really wager with SkyBet on who you believe will play the role of the next James Bond, with Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, and Rege-Jean Page claiming the top ranks. So let's have a look at the actors who are up for the job as well as the odds, according to SkyBet.

From Jersey's Saint Helier, 39-year-old Henry Cavill. is most well-known for his performances in Superman in the DC Universe and Sherlock Holmes in the Netflix series Enola Holmes

Martin Campbell, the director of Casino Royale, rejected the actor's audition for the part of James Bond in 2006 because he thought he was "too young" at the age of 22.

Martin stated: "I did test him for Bond, as you know, in an interview with Cinemablena." He performed exceptionally well on the test, but Daniel was more experienced, and he was too young. Daniel was the perfect fit for the role thanks to his excellent acting skills—he was likely the best of the bunch.

Could Henry be too old for the part this time around, 16 years later?

The Luther actor, though, has stated that being Bond is not his "objective."

It is not a goal for my career, he declared on the The Shop podcast. I don't believe that some of my personal objectives will be met by playing Bond.

It will undoubtedly satisfy a nation's need. Since I'm talking about other cultures, I won't lie: everywhere I go, people always say, "Bond." And I believe that, at this point, I am beyond help. I have no idea. It is not a matter of "should I," "do I," or "will I." Sometimes, that is what the nation's will commands.

London-born Rege-Jean Page is 34 years old. His breakthrough performance as Simon Basset in the Netflix miniseries Bridgerton made him most well-known.

He has, however, been a professional actor since 2001, appearing in ABC's "For the People" and BBC's "Waterloo Road."

He later spoke with The Mirror about the James Bond casting after deciding in April 2021 that he wouldn't be coming back for season two of Bridgerton.

He said to the media, "Ah, the B word. I believe that if you accomplish anything noteworthy as a British person that other people notice, then people will start talking about it.

I'm flattered to be included in the group of Brits that people have noticed, and that's very normal. 

Tom Hardy, 45, is a native of London's Hammersmith. He is well-known for his parts in the films Mad Max: Fury Road, Legend, and Venom. He is also well-known for portraying Peaky Blinders protagonist Alfie Solomons from 2014 to 2022.

After Tom played Clarkie in Layer Cake, fans started to wonder if he would be a good fit for the part.

In reality, Daniel Craig's unofficial audition for the part was the 2004 movie.

It appears that this didn't entirely turn Tom off, as he stated in an interview with The Daily Beast in 2017: "You know, there's a saying amongst us in the fraternity of actors and in the fellowship of my peer group that, if you talk about it, you're automatically out of the race."

So maybe the Venom actor isn't communicating with us because he genuinely wants the part?

The first actor from outside of Britain is Aidan Turner, 39. He is from Clondalkin in Ireland, which is close to Dublin, the country's capital.

He is well known for his role as Ross Poldark in the BBC One drama Poldark. Aidan quickly gained popularity among viewers of the drama series, which aired from 2015 to 2019.

Kili was another character he played in the Hobbit series, appearing in The Hobbit (2012), The Desolation of Smaug (2013), and The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies (2014).

During an interview with The Daily Mail in 2018, Aidan previously expressed interest in the 007 job, saying that he did take a look at the possibility of playing the iconic spy figure when the position became open once again.

Ireland-born actor Pierce Brosnan played the part in four movies between 1995 and 2002. He is from Drogheda, which is a little city near Dublin.
