After playing James Bond for nearly two decades, Daniel Craig revealed he'd be hanging up his crisp tuxedo in pursuit of other projects, after No Time to Die came out in 2021. Since then, the search for the next 007 has been on. Fans have shaken and stirred several names into the mix, from Idris Elba to Richard Madden to Joe Alwyn and Theo James.
