After starring in 5 "007" movies, 53-year-old Daniel Craig also announced that he would no longer play the role, from 2006's "Casino Royale" to this year's "No Time to Die", Craig version of 007 has accompanied us through a full 15 years, although many people at the beginning felt that Craig did not fit the image of 007, but these 5 movies can be sold at the box office after the release, and they have never escaped the "law of true fragrance". After "No Time to Die", the producer MGM has announced the successor of the next 007, which has left unlimited reverie space for the majority of fans, and today I will take stock of 15 potential candidates for the next 007.
15th place: Dev Patel
Date of birth: April, 23 1990
Height: 187cm
Chance of election: 5%
Reasons for selection: Although Dave Patel is only 31 years old, he has already participated in many film and television dramas, starring in the award-winning "Slumdog Millionaire" in 2008, and he also starred in the 2021 well-known "Green Rider". Although Patel's acting skills are not bad, but as an Indian-British actor, first of all, it is difficult to convince the public in appearance, unless there is a problem with the brains of MGM executives, otherwise patel's probability of being elected 007 is almost 0, and some foreign media have selected him purely for the purpose of making up numbers.
14th: David Beckham
Date of birth: May, 2 1975
Height: 183cm
Probability of election: 9.9%
Reasons for selection: What? Beckham, you think I'm joking, yes, I'm joking. As the saying goes, people are not humorous, what is the difference between them and idle fish? So, Little Plum specially brought Little Bella in and humored it. From the appearance, XiaoBei is definitely handsome enough, although he is older, he is still full of charm, he was still the captain of England when he was young, and his Bays arc saved Manchester United and England countless times. Of course, Xiao Bei's English country accent is indeed a big deficiency, and I don't know if he will be laughed at by the audience when he says "shaken, not stirred". If Begen Jr. is elected 007, it is not known whether Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea fans will object.
13th: Henry Golding
Date of birth: February, 5 1987
Height: 186cm
Probability of election: 10%
Reasons for selection: Henry Golding was born in Malaysia, although he has an Asian face, but is a British national, so there is no nationality barrier to 007. Golding's film and television works are not many, but there are still a few famous ones, such as the previously sold "Picking Gold", the romantic comedy "Last Christmas" and the word-of-mouth box office "Special Forces: Snake's Eye Origin". From the point of view of stature, Golding starred in 007 is no problem, the key is this Asian face, I don't know if Amazon dares to play an innovation, let Asian actors play 007.
12th place: Idris Elba
Date of birth: September, 6 1972
Height: 188cm
Probability of election: 15%
Reason for selection: Originally, I didn't want to write Idris Elba in, but I see that there are several foreign media that pretend to be X to include Elba, so I will talk about it today. Personally, I think that the possibility of Elba being elected is almost zero, without him, only because he is too old, he is 49 years old this year, according to this age, at most two films will be over, then Amazon will have to choose another person, rather than so toss, it is better to choose a younger one. Of course, I personally feel that it is not impossible for black actors to be elected 007, after all, the copyright of 007 is now in the hands of Amazon, and the Yankees have always been "correct in value", what they can't do, after all, Obama has become president.
11th place: Tom Hardy
Date of birth: September, 15 1977
Height: 175cm
Chance of election: 30%
Reason for selection: Mr. Tang's acting skills are no problem, and he is also very capable of playing, and he has also starred in many big productions before, such as the "Venom 2" that just exploded in North America, which he played, but the height of 175 and this slightly thick face seem to be inappropriate. If he is really elected 007, it is the shortest 007 in history, then these two-meter long-legged Bang girls, I don't know if Teacher Tang can hold it.
10th place: Eddie Redmayne
Date of birth: January, 6 1982
Height: 184cm
Probability of election: 40%
Reason for selection: Eddie Redmayne is not bad in terms of popularity, that is, this look may make everyone a little worried, after all, no one wants a 007 with a small freckles. Personally, I think Redmayne is still more suitable for starring in some family movies, such as the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series that is currently being filmed, which is more in line with his image temperament, those fight and kill roles, let Jason Statham complete it for you.
9th place: George MacKay
Date of birth: March, 13 1992
Chance of election: 45%
Reasons for selection: George McKay estimates that many people have heard of hin, he is not yet 30 years old this year, is the youngest candidate in this list, although young, but the acting skills are no worse than those of the old fritters, as early as 2013 he won the 24th Stockholm International Film Festival "Best Actor", and in 2017, the 70th Cannes International Film Festival, he won the "Chopard Most Potential Actor Award", the war film "1917" of the global fire in early 2020. It was he who starred. However, although McKay's acting skills are not bad, but from the image temperament is still slightly young, not in line with the characteristics of 007", and McKay's appearance, I personally feel more suitable for playing the villain in "007", rather than playing 007.
8th place: Richard Madden
Date of birth: June, 18 1986
Height: 178cm
Probability of election: 50%
Why he was selected: Richard Madden is probably not heard of by many people, having previously played Robb Stark in Game of Thrones, which is almost his most famous role, and the Marvel movie "The Eternals", which will be released in November, he played the male protagonist Icarris. Madden's plus is that he successfully played the male protagonist David Budd in the British drama "Personal Bodyguard", and this role is an agent, and his performance in the play is not bad, this role is really similar to 007. His minus was that he wasn't tall enough, only 178, not even as tall as Craig's 180.
7th place: Michael Fassbender
Date of birth: April, 2 1977
Chance of election: 55%
Reasons for selection: Fassbinder is also a stereotyped actor, he played Magneto can be said to be a household name, as a superhero for many years, but as a secret agent, Fassbinder has not really done it before. However, from the perspective of image temperament, he played 007 is not impossible, personally feel that the image temperament and Craig is a little close, and the acting skills of the french shark are quite outstanding, the past many years have won countless awards, the popularity of nature does not say, may not be too high, the height of 183 can only be said to be passable, and the age of 44 is not small, if the real 007, it is estimated that it is about 3 times, I don't know if MGM will really consider the law shark.
6th place: Luke Evans
Date of birth: April, 15 1979
Probability of election: 60%
Reasons for selection: Luke Evans has acted in a lot of movies, everyone may be familiar with him, but he can't be named, he played Owen Shaw in "Fast and Furious 6", that is, Jason Statham's younger brother. He is similar to Statham, and is very good at shooting action movies, which is very suitable for the role of 007, but his face shape does not look very affinity, more suitable for playing a villain.
5th place: Ed Skrein
Date of birth: March, 29 1983
Height: 185cm
Probability of election: 65%
Reasons for selection: Many people may not be familiar with this name, but when it comes to the role he plays, everyone should have heard of it, the villain Ajax in "Deadpool" is played by Scrin, and "Destiny Express 4" is also starring him, which is Jason Statham's successor. Scrin is also excellent in all aspects, and is very good at shooting action movies, but his face is too angular, seems to be more suitable for playing the villain, do not know MGM's high-level look, the author is more optimistic about Sklin.
4th place: Nicholas Hoult
Date of birth: December, 7 1989
Height: 190cm
Probability of election: 70%
Reason for selection: Nicholas Holt is an excellent actor, and I believe many viewers are impressed by his role as a beast in "X-Men". Holt has no problem with his height, acting skills, experience and hard work when acting, and he is only 32 years old, but his childish face does not know whether he can get MGM's senior management to vote for him. Holt and Skring looked so similar that I thought they were relatives, and I was a supporter of Holt myself, depending on the fact that MGM did not support it.
3rd place: Dan Stevens
Date of birth: October, 10 1982
Likelihood of election: 75%
Reasons for selection: Personally, I think the probability of Dan Stevens being elected is not small, because from all aspects, he is an excellent and qualified actor, whether it is height and appearance, or acting style, in these many candidates. Personally, I think he is the actor who looks most like Daniel Craig among all the candidates, Craig can play, why Stevens can't play, Stevens in addition to the fame is a little smaller, other aspects are not bad, the author is still more optimistic about him.
2nd place: Tom Hiddleston
Date of birth: February, 9 1981
Chance of election: 80%
Reason for selection: Jitter Sen Has any problems with this image, he is tall enough, he is handsome, experienced, and he is only 40 years old, and he personally feels that he is one of the strong candidates for 007. It's just that the audience is used to the improper Loki he plays, and then let him play such a decent 007, will everyone not be able to adapt for a while and a half.
1st place: Henry Cavill
Date of birth: May, 5 1983
Probability of election: 90%
Reasons for selection: Mention Henry Cavill, the first thing that comes to mind is the role of Superman, after all, since 2013's "Superman: Body of Steel", he has been a Superman for 8 years, and this role is also deeply rooted in people's hearts, but this does not prevent Cavill from creating a role that impresses everyone again, handsome appearance, strong physique, and rich acting experience, which are all strong reasons for Cavill to be elected as the next 007. He has previously participated in spy films such as "Secret Agent" and "Mission Impossible 6", and he is also an old agent, if he is really elected 007, I believe that he is also familiar with the road, so from various conditions, "Dachao" is the best candidate for the next 007. After za director left, it is estimated that Warner now does not want to let Cavill play Dachao, just dachao directly to Amazon report to play 007, the effect is leveraged.
epilogue
The author here lists the 15 candidates for the next 007, which except for XiaoBei, who was forcibly pulled in to play soy sauce, the others are all actors who are serious, of course, I originally wanted to pull Gerald, Lampard and Terry into the lively and lively, and then think about it, after all, it is a movie, not to play football. In addition to the 15 candidates mentioned above, there are many other British stars (because the 007 actor must be British, and the Irish seem to be OK), such as Statham, Jude Lowe, Christian Bale, Real Madrid's Bale, "Wilderness Survival" Bale, etc., either because of looks or because of age problems, have not been selected.
Personally, I think that the five people of Dachao, Jittersen, Stevens, Holt and Scrin will reach the final round, and the next 007 will be selected from their 5. As for the final result, we will wait and see.
