Tom Hardy Will Now Have To Compete With These Two stars For The James Bond Role

Since actor Daniel Craig stepped down from the iconic James Bond role, there has been a rumor swirling on the internet that The Dark Knight Rises movie star Tom Hardy wants to take his place in the upcoming sequel in the James Bond franchise. There was a time when the notion of a female James Bond taking over from Daniel Craig was making the rounds online. However, many at the time, including Craig himself, disagreed with the idea.
James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and Craig both spilled the beans on the upcoming project. In a previous interview, Broccoli told Variety,
“It’s a big decision. It’s not just casting a role. It’s about a whole rethink about where we’re going. I believe we should be creating new characters for women — strong female characters. I’m not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that.”
Craig added,
“There should simply; be better parts for women and actors of color. Why should a woman play James Bond when there should be a part just as good as James Bond, but for a woman?”
While rumors have been swirling for a long time regarding his possible appearance in the upcoming movie Bond 26, in a candid interview, the Venom: Let There Be Carnage movie star claimed,
“You know, there’s a saying amongst us in the fraternity of acting, and in the fellowship of my peer group that, if you talk about it, you’re automatically out of the race. So I can’t possibly comment on that one. If I mention it, it’s gone…”
