The new James Bond actor for the franchise 007 does not seem to have been defined so far, but many names have already shown themselves capable of assuming it, such as Sam Heughanwho is willing to fight for the role.
The actor known for Outlandergave an interview to the website The Telegraphand minced no words to promote himself as a prime candidate for the mantle of spy.
“I’ll throw in my line here. I’d be a brilliant Bond, I’m good at action and I’d bring a lot of emotional intelligence.”
And anyone who thinks that Sam Heughan has no connection with the franchise is mistaken. In 2005, the artist auditioned for Cassino Royaleand as fans know, Daniel Craig ended up taking on the role.
After the definitive farewell of the last James Bond actor, several names have already been allegedly linked to the iconic agent, from Idris Elba to Aaron Taylor-Johnsonas strong candidates.
