James Bond star would return for another film: ‘If they asked, I’d do it’

As a seasoned cinephile with decades of movie-watching under my belt, I can’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia as we approach the potential transition of the iconic Bond role. Having witnessed Daniel Craig’s tenure as 007, I must admit that his gritty portrayal has left an indelible mark on the franchise.


It’s been approximately three years since “No Time to Die” was released, and we’re still uncertain about who will be replacing Daniel Craig as the iconic movie spy character.

It’s widely assumed that the upcoming Bond movie will signify a total overhaul for the established series, as none of the actors from the Daniel Craig period are expected to return – however, one actor has shown an openness to continuing in his part, although he believes it might be quite improbable.

During his interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Q character actor Ben Whishaw hinted that he might not be involved in the upcoming 007 project. He speculated that they are likely to start anew with a fresh cast, a totally new team of actors. This is merely his guess.

When asked about potentially making another film, he replied: “I’d consider it if they approached me. However, I believe it could benefit from some fresh perspectives and a new team. I think that could work well for the project. If they did ask, naturally, I would say yes.

Previously, Whishaw has shared comparable thoughts about the series, mentioning to TopMob magazine last year that it requires a ‘refresh’ or continuation in order to survive.

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I’ve committed myself to just three film projects, and those are now wrapped up. Yet, it seems they’ve produced an impressive 25 films, or so! If they wish to continue their cinematic journey, I presume they’ll need to renew the contract each time.

It appears quite plausible that a different actor will take on the role of Q, but it’s unlikely we’ll learn who that will be before the new James Bond actor is officially unveiled.

The rumour mill exploded in March of this year, when it was widely reported that Aaron Taylor-Johnson (The Fall Guy) had shot to the top of producer Barbara Broccoli’s casting wish list.

The actor recognized for roles in Kick-Ass, Nocturnal Animals, Avengers: Age of Ultron, chose not to directly address the rumors when asked about them. Instead, he told Esquire that he was carving out his own unique journey and is concentrating on what lies ahead.

He emphasized that the speculation about him joining Bond 26 is completely unfounded. He kindly asks for any spread rumors to be extinguished.
