James Bond Casting Rumors Addressed by Josh O’Connor

by

It’s been hinted that Josh O’Connor may take on the role of James Bond, with the actor himself making light-hearted comments about the possibility.

What did Josh O’Connor say about the James Bond rumors?

To Deadline, O’Connor was queried regarding speculations of him taking on the role of James Bond in the forthcoming blockbuster installment, where a new actor will portray the iconic character. O’Connor acknowledged that, like everyone else, he has limited knowledge about the matter, despite his earlier humorous comments on the subject.

As a fan, I can’t help but share the words of Flannery O’Connor: “To be honest, my mind is as blank as a page.” The truth is that in the span of a single week, a playful jest about playing Bond slipped out, followed by an Actors on Actors segment with Daniel Craig. Then, unexpectedly, I found myself as James Bond. If it’s true that I am Bond, I remain unsure about it.

O’Connor’s witty remarks on playing Bond sparked speculations that he might be chosen for the crucial part, but it remains uncertain who will take over the famous character next. Daniel Craig portrayed the role in 2021’s No Time to Die, and since then, discussions about the actor who will play James Bond have been ongoing.

For the last four years, actors such as O’Connor, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis, James Norton, and others have been rumored to be in contention for the role. At present, there has been no official word on the subject, with Barbara Broccoli (co-head of the James Bond film franchise alongside her half-brother Michael G. Wilson) remaining tight-lipped about it.
