Who Will Be the Next James Bond? Top Contenders Revealed

Aaron Taylor-Johnson
The Avengers: Age of Ultron actor is a leading candidate, with reports suggesting that he has already been offered the role after impressing during a secret screen test. Taylor-Johnson has been coy about the speculation, but he hasn't denied it either.

Jeremy Allen White
Known for his role in The Bear, White has responded to the rumors by saying, "An American shouldn't play 007," but still considered it flattering. His humor and acting chops have made him a fan favorite, but the role might go to someone more traditionally British.

Lashana Lynch
Although not a woman in the traditional Bond mold, Lynch's character in No Time to Die generated interest in the idea of her leading a Bond spin-off. However, producers have stated that the next Bond will not be female.

Andrew Garfield
The Amazing Spider-Man star has the acting credentials to take on the role of Bond. His charm and action-adventure experience make him an intriguing option, though he's yet to publicly comment on the possibility.

Harry Styles
Styles' acting in My Policeman and Don't Worry Darling has sparked interest in him as a potential Bond, though his music career may limit his time for such a commitment.

Nicholas Hoult
Known for Mad Max: Fury Road, Hoult has the charm and action credentials to make a good Bond. His versatile acting career could see him take on the iconic role.

Damson Idris
After making waves in Snowfall and Outside the Wire, Idris has been part of the conversation about the next Bond. His action experience could make him a natural fit.

Miles Teller
While not British, Teller's experience in action films like Top Gun: Maverick makes him a dark horse in the race for Bond. His star power could help him land the role.

Regé-Jean Page
The Bridgerton star's smooth demeanor and rising fame have made him a strong contender. He has the elegance and action chops to potentially take on the role of Bond.

Tom Holland
While Holland pitched the idea of a young Bond reboot, it remains to be seen if he’ll ever be considered for the iconic role. His experience in action films like Spider-Man could work in his favor.

Henry Cavill
Cavill has long been rumored to be in the running for Bond, though it's unclear if he'll ever land the role. His previous near-miss with Casino Royale has made fans wonder what could have been.

John Boyega
The Star Wars alum is a potential candidate for the role, and there's a lot of buzz around the idea of him becoming the first Black Bond.

Fabien Frankel
Known for his role as Ser Criston Cole in House of the Dragon, Frankel's charm and growing celebrity have made him a rising contender for Bond.

Matt Smith
The Doctor Who and House of the Dragon actor has the British pedigree and acting range to make him a strong option for Bond.

Theo James
With experience in the Divergent series, James has the action background needed for Bond. However, he has expressed hesitation about the role, suggesting that a reinvention of the character might be necessary.

While these actors all bring something different to the table, the next James Bond will likely be a highly anticipated announcement. Who would you want to see take on the role?
