Previously, Rory Kinnear, who plays Bill Tanner in the franchise, and Charlie Higson, the author of Young Bond novels, have discredited the idea of a “front-runner” because they usually do not get the role.
Kinnear said in an interview on BBC’s The One Show: “I always feel slightly bad for the people who are being highlighted, because that never tends to be them. They [casting directors] are very good at keeping the real person secret.”
Higson, who is also an actor, said in May 2023 that if an actor is talked about as “being considered” as the next 007 “you know that they’ve been rejected”.
He also said: “Eon [Productions], who make the films, play their cards very close to the chest and a lot of times they really surprise people… in particular, Daniel Craig. Nobody had any idea at all that he might be Bond and, if you’d been asked in advance, you’d have said ‘Daniel Craig, James Bond? Surely not’.”
