We have come a full year since then there is no time to die concluded Daniel Craig’s James Bond story, and 007 fans are always eager to find out what the next era of this franchise has in store for them. Of course, the bigger question remains who will succeed Craig, and while there is no shortage of speculation on that front, Idris Elba said he has no interest in taking over from James Bond. Producer Barbara Broccoli has now shared her reaction to Elba’s complications for playing 007.
For years, Idris Elba has often been mentioned as a potential candidate to play James Bond following the end of Daniel Craig’s run. While few, if any, will say that she has the acting qualities to play the role, Elba is simply uninterested in taking on the character and rarely talks about Bond. In response to Elba saying she doesn’t see Bond when she “looks in the mirror,” Barbara Broccoli, who produces the Bond franchise starring Michael G. Wilson, told Variety that while she and Wilson “like” the Luther star, he understands that he does not want to play the soft spot, saying:
The fact is that it will take a few years. And when we launch Bond, it’s a 10 or 12 year commitment. So you’re probably thinking, ‘Do I really want this thing?’ Not everyone wants to do it. It was hard enough to obtain [Daniel Craig to do it].
Although Daniel Craig hasn’t starred in as many James Bond films as his predecessors Sean Connery and Roger Moore, he has certainly devoted many years of his life to the role. Craig was officially elected Royal casino in October 2005, and although he obviously pushed for there is no time to die in the weeks leading up to its release, the actor basically said goodbye to Bond once principal photography on this film wrapped in late October 2019. Let’s also not forget that there was a time when we didn’t even know if Craig would play Bond Lien again. after 2015 Spectrumbut even if he didn’t return he would have four Bond films to his name, the same number as Pierce Brosnan.
So yes, playing James Bond would be an incredible opportunity for many actors, but Barbara Broccoli has made it clear that whoever plays the role will have to stay with the franchise for a long time. Beyond the reasons Idris Elba openly mentioned in interviews for not wanting to play James Bond, Broccoli suspects the actor isn’t interested in committing to such a long career. Plus, it’s not like Elba is running out of opportunities to star in action films, as she’s been appearing in blockbusters such as stellar journey beyond, the dark tower, hobbs and shaw Yes the suicide squad.
In June, Barbara Broccoli said filming for the next James Bond movie was “at least two years away,” so it will take some time before we find out who will play the role of 007. That said, in August it was rumored that an IS Es A’s youngest actor is likely to be cast for the next Bond, and Idris Elba has just turned 50, meaning he would have been 60 or 60 once that 10 to 12 year commitment had passed. So, between his disinterest in the role and that alleged age requirement, it turns out that Elba doesn’t want to play Bond, even if that doesn’t mean we can’t see him appear in this franchise as a villain or in another role. one day.
If you’re in the mood for some James Bond action, many films in the franchise can be streamed with an Amazon Prime Video subscription.
