The casting director for James Bond explained why you won’t see a younger actor playing 007.
Arguably one of the most enduring film franchises the film industry has ever seen is that of the famous MI6 agent, James Bond. The adventures of Mr. Bond have spanned over sixty years, producing twenty-seven movies for the viewing pleasure of audiences across the decades.
Once more, the role is available to be filled with the departure of Daniel Craig after the actor had served in Her Majesty's Secret Service over five outings beginning with 2006's Casino Royale and culminating in 2021's No Time to Die. The vacancy has seen a number of names like Henry Cavill, Tom Hardy, Tom Hiddleston, and Taron Egerton thrown into the mix by fans of the franchise, with many suggesting that perhaps British actor Idris Elba would make the perfect fit.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While speaking in a recent interview on RadioTimes, McWilliams revealed that younger actors lack the "mental capacity" to succeed in the role of 007. “When we started, it was a slightly different feel,” McWilliams, who has worked with the franchise since 1981, said. “We did look at a lot of younger actors, and I just don’t think they had the gravitas.
“Timothy Dalton was known, but he was known as a Shakespearean actor, really. Pierce [Brosnan] was known, but that was basically from television. Roger Moore was known from television. Sean Connery wasn’t [known] – nobody had ever heard of him. A certain audience had heard of Daniel Craig, but much more the kind of independent cinema audience.
The next Bond film is at least two years away, so we await the announcement of the next 007. Watch a trailer for No Time to Die below:
