Where is the casting for the next James Bond? Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson gave criteria for Daniel Craig's successor.
Dying can wait had the merit of being clear: the Daniel Craig era of James Bond is well and truly over. After 5 films and more than 15 years of good and loyal service (Secrets of Her Majesty), the actor has hung up his gloves, and the producers of the saga, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, are actively looking for a new interpreter.
Many rumors suggest that Aaron Taylor-Johnson would be the preferred candidateto the point where Pierce Brosnan outright validated the actor in support. In reality, nothing has been done yet, and one could assume that Broccoli and Wilson are turning to a less identified actor to affirm this notion of new blood. In any case, the producer duo has clarified what they are looking for for the new 007.
What did we do to James Bond(ie)?
On the occasion of the Governors Awards, where they will both receive an honorary Oscar, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson spoke to The Associated Press the selection criteria for the future James Bondas reported AP :
“They teased a few things: it will be a man. He will be in his thirties. It is not guaranteed to be white. And the person who says yes will have to expect at least a decade of films.”
This last sentence is not insignificant, especially when we know that Daniel Craig was the first to criticize the longevity of his James Bond, even his fed up with the character at the time of Dying can wait. The priority of young age is explained by this desire to decline this new incarnation over a long period.
The question of skin color will not fail to raise eternal debates which have no reason to exist. We still remember – to our great dismay – the insults received by Lashana Lynch, who obtained in Dying can wait the number 007 after the departure of Bond.
In any case, the article The Associated Press returns to the fact that a new James Bond always requires time to adapt. In 2006, before the release of Casino Royale, the casting of Daniel Craig had already generated outraged and disproportionate reactionsbefore everyone recognized the actor as a wonderful choice. As Barbara Broccoli explained: “It’s a big decision”.
Perhaps these criteria relate above all to communication. Maybe even Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have already selected their new James Bond. At any rate, the franchise will enter a new eraand this is above all what we will have to accept. And if you miss Daniel Craig, he will soon be showing in Queerthe new film by Luca Guadagnino.
