No Time To Die will be the conclusion of an era for the James Bond saga. The film starring Daniel Craig will open up endless possibilities for the British spy franchise, which could use the occasion to renew the character of Agent 007 and give the role to a new actor.
The options are endless, and as executives make a decision, John Boyega, the actor from the latest series of Star Wars and Pacific Rim Uprising, commented on his desire to bring the iconic movie character to life.
After confirming that Bond 25 would be the last film in which Daniel Craig will take up the role of the world’s best-known spy, fans of the franchise have speculated about who could become the new face of the saga.
Although the character is unlikely to change gender, there is reason to believe that the spy will change Race.
During an interview with MTV News, John Boyega stated his intentions to compete for the role of Agent 007. The actor asserted that he was willing to take on the role of James Bond, as long as the project was directed by Steve McQueen, director of Widows and 12 Years a Slave.
According to the actor, if Steve McQueen directs the movie, he could bring a whole different perspective to the franchise.
For her part, in the same interview, actress Leticia Wright, who plays Shuri in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, supported John Boyega taking the role of James Bond.
Months ago, Idris Elba, who for years has been a favorite to be the first Afro-descendant James Bond, commented that he liked the idea of John Boyega taking on the role of Agent 007. The actor stated that the addition of Boyega would be a breath of fresh air to the franchise.
