Intricacies of the casting of the next James Bond

While Emilia Clarke’s desire to become the next Jane Bond alongside Leonardo DiCaprio sounds intriguing, the reality of choosing the next James Bond is more intricate. Daniel Craig bid farewell to his iconic role as James Bond after being associated with the character for over a decade. It is yet to known who will become the new face of the 007. 

Sam Mendes, the director behind Bond films like Skyfall and Spectre, shared insights at the Hay Festival regarding the selection of the next Bond. Mendes stated, as per USA Today, “The truth is — and here’s the headline: It’s not a democracy. It’s not the X Factor, it’s not the EU referendum, it’s not a public vote. (Producer) Barbara Broccoli chooses who’s going to be the next Bond: end of story.”

As Emilia Clarke and her fans dream of her taking up the mantle of the iconic spy, it is yet to be seen who will replace Daniel Craig to become the new most wanted 007 spy. Though it surely is interesting to imagine Clarke in a spy role after her commendable portrayal of Mother of Dragons.
