A JamesBond casting announcement might not happen anytime soon, as franchise producer Barbara Broccoli cautions, 'It's a big decision. It’s not just casting a role.'
The producer of the James Bond franchise, Barbara Broccoli, admits that fans might have to wait a while longer for the announcement of the next Bond. Most recently, the secret agent has been portrayed by actor Daniel Craig since 2006, beginning with Casino Royale. Craig's portrayal of the character won him critical acclaim from fans and critics alike, and the bittersweet announcement of his departure came prior to the release of his final Bond film, 2021's No Time To Die.
The announcement of Craig's departure over two years ago has left fans and news outlets buzzing with questions over who might play the iconic 007 in future films, and their increasing impatience mirrors this excitement as well as the significance of Broccoli and producing partner Michael G. Wilson's impending decision. Rumors continue to buzz fervently around who might play Bond next.
“It's a big decision. It’s not just casting a role. It’s about a whole rethink about where we’re going. I’m just here celebrating one of the greatest actors on the planet, Daniel Craig.” As her statement confirms, Broccoli continues to support Craig professionally even after his departure from the role of Bond. In fact, Broccoli produced the aforementioned play that Craig currently stars in. Her decision to currently focus on the brilliance of Craig's career in the wake of his exit, rather than obsessing over the franchise's future, is admirable. Still, one does wish that the announcement of the next James Bond was happening sooner rather than later.
Notably, Broccoli's connection to James Bond and thus the significance of her impending decision dates back to the franchise's humble origins – her father, Albert R."Cubby" Broccoli was the producer of most of the original Bond films including its very first, and oversaw the transition of the films from low-budget pursuits to an extravagant, high-budget franchise.
