The end of the Daniel Craig era. A new beginning is coming

The James Bond series is entering a new era. After the departure of Daniel Craig, who played the role of the most famous British agent for five films, the entire film industry and millions of fans around the world are waiting for the name of the next actor to play this iconic character to be revealed.

The "Peaky Blinders" screenwriter already knows who he's writing for

Steven Knight, the creator of "Peaky Blinders", is working on the script for the 26th Bond film, and he already knows who will replace Craig.

As Knight admitted, knowing who would play 007 significantly influenced his creative process.

“It makes life a little easier when you know who it is, but you also have to write the character, not the actor.”

– the screenwriter confessed during one of the interviews.

Lowden, Elordi, Turner. Three faces of the new Bond

The most frequently mentioned names include Jack Lowden, Jacob Elordi and Callum Turner. Each of them represents a different generation and a different acting style, which makes the choice even more intriguing.

Jack Lowden recently gained the support of Gary Oldman, who collaborated with him on the series "Lame Horses". I keep my fingers crossed for Jacek, said the actor about his younger colleague. Whether Oldman really has inside information or is merely sharing his own assessment is unclear.

Casting of the decade. Why is the world waiting for this one move?

James Bond is a role that elevates the actor to an elite group. From Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, only six actors had the opportunity to portray Agent 007 in official productions.

The last official announcement of a new Bond was over two decades ago, in 2005. No wonder the atmosphere of anticipation is getting thicker with each passing month. The producers and creators of the film face the task not only of choosing the right actor, but also of meeting the expectations of viewers around the world who are counting on a new, fresh vision of the adventures of agent 007.
