Outlander star Sam Heughan has added further fuel to rumours he’s next in line to play super spy James Bond.Speaking to Stellar Magazine, Heughan said he would “obviously” take on the role if it were offered to him, and said, “any actor would want it.”Here is everything you need to know.As Daniel Craig prepares to depart the franchise after the release of No Time to Die (his fifth appearance as Bond), fans have been speculating on who could step into the shoes of one of cinema’s most iconic roles.Names thrown about include Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Henry Cavill, but Heughan remains one of the bookies’ favourites.“I also have a theory that any reasonably well-known British actor who’s worn a suit instantly has their name thrown into the ring

Lashana Lynch, who was previously rumored to take over Daniel Craig’s role as James Bond in the 2021 film “No Time to Die,” has seemingly confirmed the news -- and is opening up about the “abuse” she says she has endured since being cast as the first Black female 007. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the 32-year-old actress said she has been putting more emphasis on meditating and spending time with her family while taking a step back from social media amid the backlash she has received for her career-defining role.

Back in July 2019, it was revealed that Lashana Lynch’s new role in the upcoming James Bond film, “No Time to Die,” would actually be in a position that fans are very familiar with. Though her character might be new, Lynch begins the film as the new 007, a title/designation normally carried by the suave superspy played by Daniel Craig.

Rami Malek’s role in new James Bond movie No Time To Die is “as big as it gets”.The Bohemian Rhapsody star plays villainous Safin in the upcoming 007 flick, slated for release in April 2021, in which he’ll face off against Daniel Craig’s secret service agent.“There was no way I was going to say no,” he tells GQ magazine of the offer to join the cast “It’s a 007 film, man. They’re a part of our cinematic history.”Malek adds: “An opportunity to go toe-to-toe, head-to-head with Daniel and give them all I got? That’s something I’ll look back on as, as big as it gets.”Craig, who will depart the franchise after the new movie, also heaped praise on his co-star, sharing: “I go up against people.

In a non-pandemic world, we would be seven months removed from the premiere of Daniel Craig’s final Bond film, “No Time to Die.” And if, uh, “leadership” in the United States would have been better prepared and handled things differently, maybe we’d have had the same April delay but would be bracing ourselves for a November release. Sadly, that didn’t happen and we’re still months away from “No Time to Die” arriving in April 2021.

No Time To Die plot point is true: Lashana Lynch is the new 007 in the 25th James Bond film.The 32-year-old Captain Marvel star graces the front cover of the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar with the caption ‘the first female 007’.The plot point was first reported (or should we say spoiled?) by the Mail On Sunday back in July 2019, which described the reveal of Lynch as 007 in Cary Joji Fuknaga’s film as a ‘popcorn-dropping moment’. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Harper's Bazaar UK (@bazaaruk) on Nov 4, 2020 at 12:49am PSTHowever, before anyone jumps to the conclusion that this means Lynch is the next James Bond, just remember that No Time To Die begins with Daniel Craig’s secret agent retired from active service.

While No Time To Die is already a special James Bond outing as it marks Daniel Craig's final appearance as the famous British spy, fans are also intrigued to see how Rami Malek adds his own flavours as the intriguing Bond villain Safin. In a recent interview with British GQ, the Oscar-winning actor confessed that there's no way he was going to say no to the opportunity to battle James Bond in Bond 25.Exclaiming how it's a 007 film, Rami calls the James Bond franchise "a part of our cinematic history." To be able to go toe-to-toe, head-to-head with Craig and give them all he's got, the 39-year-old actor will look back on this as something big as it gets.
