Mads Mikkelsen, known for his role as Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, believes Idris Elba would make a fantastic next James Bond. However, he acknowledges the potential age issue with Elba being close to Daniel Craig's age.
Casino Royale villain actor Mads Mikkelsen reveals his pick for the next James Bond , and it's a popular fancast. Daniel Craig is the latest actor to play British superspy 007, joining the franchise in 2006 and bidding farewell to the role in 2021 with the end of No Time To Die. Since the release of that film, it's been unknown who will take his place beyond seemingly endless rumors and reports, but James Bond 26 is confirmed to arrive at some point.
Mikkelsen, who played Le Chiffre in Craig's first outing, reveals who he would like to see take up the mantle of 007 in Bond 26. According to Mikkelsen, popular fancast Idris Elba would be a great choice for the role. He does note, however, that the biggest problem with this casting is that Elba is'almost the same age as Daniel, so maybe they’ll have an issue with that.' Elba has long been considered a top choice for the role of Bond, but it doesn't seem to be one he's entirely interested in. 'It is not a goal for my career,' he said bluntly in an interview with The Shop podcast, though he did admit that he's glad to be a popular fancast purely for what it says about the state of casting in Hollywood. Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli then responded to Elba's comments, saying that she and fellow producer Michael G. Wilson'love Idris' but that they're looking for someone to make a ten or 12-year commitment
