Casino Royale: Last News

Bond odds have continually been shifting. The debate has surrounded Daniel Craig's replacement as James Bond following his fifth and final 007 movie, No Time To Die, which hit cinemas in 2021. The official announcement of the next 007 star will likely come within the next year, but until then, the odds are the best insight fans have into the movement.

Michael Fassbender has revealed that, during talks for the role of James Bond in the mid-2000s, he inadvertently helped out Daniel Craig in getting the part.While still and up-and-coming star at the time, Fassbender was one of many names considered for the role which would eventually go to Craig.Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast to promote his new film Black Bag, Fassbender was asked how close he came to actually being 007, and the actor revealed he ended up advocating for his competitor Craig instead.“I met with (producer) Barbara Broccoli just you know through passing and I actually went in to an audition phase before Daniel was cast, but I don’t think I was ever in the mix,” he said. “But I remember going into that room and meeting with her and (Michael G.) Wilson and I think I was like, ‘Daniel Craig is…’ I don’t know why I was promoting him.

James Bond Daniel Craig missed out on a BAFTA Best Actor nomination for his role in the drama Queer, which has brought a furious reaction from fans online.Adrien Brody, Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Ralph Fiennes, Hugh Grant, and Sebastian Stan made the list for the category, with Craig missing out.

Daniel Craig is considered to be one of the sexiest men alive, but somehow, the director of his first James Bond movie was worried he wasn’t handsome enough to play the iconic role.

Casino Royale director Martin Campbell has revealed that Henry Cavill could have been an “excellent” James Bond “if Daniel [Craig] didn’t exist”.Speaking to Express UK, Campbell, who led the Craig-starring James Bond reboot with Casino Royale, revealed that Cavill – now most famous for playing Superman and Geralt in The Witcher – had auditioned for the 007 franchise but was “a little young at the time”. For context, the reboot’s auditions were held 18 years ago, when Cavill was just 22-years-old.Campbell said of Henry Cavill’s audition: “He looked great in the audition. His acting was tremendous.

Casino Royale director Martin Campbell believes that Superman star Henry Cavill had a good audition, but wasn’t the perfect fit when producers were looking for a new James Bond.

Eva Green was awarded $1 million by a British court on Friday (April 28) for a movie that was never produced.

Rachel McAdams returns to theaters later this month with “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.” It’s a significant role for the actress and one she wanted to do. She can’t say the same for some of the huge movies she turned down in the mid-2000s, some of which are the decade’s biggest films.

Sadly, recent news might mean that Sam may no longer be eligible for the role as the iconic tuxedo-clad spy. The star has been in the running for months, even auditioning for the role. At the end of August, however, it was reported that Sam would be starring in the film adaptation of video game Days Gone. His potential inclusion in the new film may mean that his chances at being 007 are over. This is due to the fact that the production and filming of Days Gone may cause scheduling conflicts by the time the next Bond flick is in production. However, bookies' odds still stand firm in the belief that Sam has a decent chance at being the next Bond.Ladbrokes Nicola McGeady said: "Sam Heughan has been chalked up at 20/1 to play James Bond.“Rumours suggest he is too old for the role. However, we won’t be ruling him out of the race just yet."What's more, Heughan previously auditioned for the role back in 2005.

James Bond set for Daniel Craig, but can be a grim and gritty reality getting those results through tough and disciplined training. Asked what sort of shape the star was in when beginning training on Casino Royale, the personal trainer said: "He wasn't out of great shape, but he wasn't in the type of Bond shape he's in now.

Sam Heughan teased fans about becoming a 'spy' as in his latest Instagram post. The Scots actor has long been touted as a potential candidate for the new James Bond role alongside Bridgerton's Rege Jean Page and Tom Hardy.
