Could FANTASTIC FOUR Star Jamie Bell Take Over From Daniel Craig As The Next JAMES BOND?
It was first reported by The Sun, but now a reliable source has confirmed that Jamie Bell (The Thing in Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot) is being eyed to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond...
Michael B. Jordan bounced back from Fantastic Four with Creed and 2018's Black Panther, and now Jamie Bell may be about to wash away the bad taste left by Josh Trank's reboot by setting his sights on 007. It's still unclear where the James Bond franchise is going to land (Sony and Warner Bros. are both thoughts to be vying for it), but it remains unlikely that Daniel Craig will be suiting up as the spy again.
Instead, Bell has reportedly met with his Film Stars Don't Die producer Barbara Broccoli about taking over as the next Bond, and while talks are obviously in the very early stages, Deadline's mention of him being eyed for the role is the second time we've heard that this week after The Sun reported the news. There's no script or director in place right now, but do you think Jamie Bell would be a good 007?
