After Daniel Craig, Who Will Become The Next James Bond?

There has been a lot of talk over the last few months that Daniel Craig won't return to play James Bond. Now, it seems like that those rumours are true as the actor is getting linked to other movies. 

The actor, who has been everybody's favorite spy since 2006, has gone on the record to show his lack of desire to play the historic character again. Till now, the British actor has been in four Bond movies: Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre.

If the actor does in fact leave the franchise – and he probably will – there will be some big shoes to fill. Thankfully, like the reports of Craig's departure, media has been busy speculating who will be the next James Bond. 

Here are the top candidates:

Tom Hiddleston

Best known for playing the the deceiving Loki in Avengers and Thor, Tom Hiddleston is the gaining momentum to be the next 007. Currently, he stars in TV series The Night Manager.

Idris Elba

Though one might remember him for his role in Thor, but the British actor has had a long and successful movie and TV career. Recently, he starred as the villainous Shere Khan in The Jungle Book.

Damian Lewis

Best known for U.S. Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody in the popular show Homeland, the actor is being seriously considered by the producers for the iconic role.

Gillian Anderson

Over the last few days, tags #NextBond #JaneBond are trending heavily in social media. Several fans are backing Gillian Anderson to become the first female Bond. The campaign has become so popular that a poster of the actress (above) and the trailer has been made by the fans. Following this, Priyanka Chopra and Game of Thrones actor Emilia Clarke have also expressed their desire to be the next Bond.

Who do you think best fits the role?
