Jon Hamm is clearly having quite a year and now, he just wants to keep things going. After starring in the box office hit Top Gun: Maverick, Hamm has now set his sights set on the James Bondfranchise following Daniel Craig’s exit.Sure, several stars have been linked to the iconic role over the years, although nothing has ever been confirmed. And while Idris Elba is seemingly removing himself from contention, Hamm is openly saying he’d love to become the next 007.
]]>Ever since Daniel Craig confirmed that he is done playing 007 in the long-running James Bond franchise, there has been widespread speculation as to who the next Bond would be. Over the years, several names have come up, but perhaps no one has been linked to the role more consistently than Idris Elba.The London-born actor has steadily risen to prominence over the years, with popular roles such as Heimdall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Bloodsport in The Suicide Squad, and the antagonist Brixton in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Not to mention, he’s also established himself on television, with The Office and the Emmy-nominated titular role in Luther. And while it almost seems like Elba’s casting as the new 007 is practically a done deal, recent reports have also suggested that he may be reluctant to take on the role in the first place.
]]>After starring in five James Bond movies, Daniel Craig is ready to move on from playing 007. The English actor took over the role from Pierce Brosnan back in 2006. And while Craig famously said that he was going to be done with the role after the 2015 film Spectre, he returned for one final mission in the 2021 film No Time to Die.It’s also safe to say that the latest Bond entry left a lot of fans in shock. For the first time in the franchise’s 59-year history, 007 was killed off. As it turns out, however, Craig has been pondering over his character’s demise for some time.
