007
But hes not the only top contender for the 007 job.
Craig has played Bond since 2006, and his departure leaves big shoes to fill.
Its not just casting a role.
Its a whole rethink about where were going.
I dont know whos evolving at a faster pace.
With all of this in mind, then, who are the main contenders right now?
I think thats fairly normal and Im flattered to be in the category of Brits that people have noticed.
Nothing more, or less, than that.
I leave them to it, he said.
Asked whether hed do it, if given the chance, Page responded: I have no idea.
Its not a thing that is fully occupying my thoughts.
Ive got enough on my plate at the moment.
I worry about the work I have, not other peoples jobs.
That, and the fact he once played Georgias crush Robbie Jennings inAngus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging.
The actor is currently a frontrunner and bookies favourite following rumours that he had a successful meeting with Broccoli.
They continued: But, there is a sticking point, and that isBig Brother.
That is a dream for [producer] Barbara who is very taken with him.
Yeah?I don’t know.
If it ever came my way, we’d have a discussion about it… he told Digital Spy.
I don’t want to say yes or no.
I am a massive fan, and will continue to be, regardless.
Back then he narrowly missed out on the part due to his age.
Will he come back for another crack at the iconic role?
As his recentSupermanU-Turn shows, nothing is ever set in stone.
The second thing Id say is that I think it should be a woman, which rules me out.
Producer Broccoli meanwhile, begs to differ.
We dont have to turn male characters into women.
Lets just create more female characters and make the story fit those female characters.
I think they’re going to choose the most appropriate Bond, he said.
I’ll play OddJob, it doesn’t matter.
What would I bring?
I’d bring a sense of mystery, a sense of charm and good looks."
Idris Elba
Another absolutely cracking pick, but sadly Bond producers have ruled him out already.Hes great.
We love Idris,Broccoli toldVariety.
So hes probably thinking, Do I really want that thing?
Not everybody wants to do that.
It was hard enough getting Daniel Craig to do it.
