A new name who potentially replaces Daniel Craig in the next James Bond movie is revealed. According to The Daily Mail, producer Barbara Broccoli is zeroing in on Jack Huston as the new agent 007. The "Ben-Hur" actor is a favorite to lead the franchise if Craig decides to step down.
However, nothing has been set in stone just yet for the Bond 25. According to an insider, Broccoli is "absolutely keen on having a black actor playing Bond" too. "It's just finding the actor," the source claims. "In fact, she doesn't care what colour he is. Black, brown or white. She just wants a great actor."
Since Craig expressed his reluctance to reprise his role shortly after "Spectre" came out in 2015, Hollywood hunks like Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, Tom Hiddleston and Damian Lewis were linked to the iconic role. Later on, Craig seemed to backtrack on his statement.
