No Time to Die still hasn’t finished its theatrical run yet, having recently become the highest-grossing Hollywood blockbuster to release since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker thanks to a box office total sitting at $735 million heading into the weekend, but that doesn’t mean fans can’t speculate on the identity of the next James Bond already.
Daniel Craig’s sage advice to his successor was “don’t be sh*t”, which are wise words indeed.

Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Richard Madden are probably the names that come up more often than the rest, but Hopper and Bridgerton‘s Regé-Jean Page have emerged as dark horse candidates, along with Alex Norton.
