Richard Madden: Will the "Game of Thrones" star be the new 007?
Actor Daniel Craig (50, "blindfold") announced in the summer of 2017 that he would be playing the fifth and last time double-zero agent James Bond. "Bond 25" - the working title - directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (41) is scheduled to hit theaters on February 14, 2020. But who will inherit the legacy of Daniel Craig? Again and again names are haunting the press, now British media have chosen a new favorite: the former "Game of Thrones" star Richard Madden (32)!
"He is a male character"
The 32-year-old is high on the wish list of Bond producer Barbara Broccoli (58), reports the "Mail on Sunday". She wanted to offer him the role shortly. Madden is said to have recommended for his performance in the BBC series "Bodyguard" for 007, it goes on. In this country, there is the British series hit from 24 October 2018 to see the streaming provider Netflix.
Finally, the rumor mill seethed that Craig could follow the first black James Bond with actor Idris Elba (46, "Luther"). But Tom Hiddleston (37, "Thor: Day of the Decision") and Tom Hardy (41, "Venom") were already in the conversation. Barbara Broccoli recently finished a female James Bond in the Guardian. "Bond is male," she told the newspaper. "He is a male character, he was written as a man and I think he will probably remain a man." But one of the next Bond films could be staged by a director, says Broccoli.
