James Bond actors must be a daunting prospect for any star. Not only are you stepping into the shoes of one of cinema's most beloved characters, but you are redefining the role for a new generation. The hunt is on for the next 007 right now, though producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson recently admitted that the search was still in its early stages.

Whoever he be, I wish him well.” GQ UK noted that Brosnan said this with “a tone that indicates it’s maybe not actually that interesting.”
