“Conversations With Friends,” said he’s game to play the next James Bond. During the 2025 Oscars Sunday, Variety asked Alwyn, 34, if he would want to play the next James Bond now that Daniel Craig is finished. “Oh, wow.

Who wouldn’t throw their hat in the ring? You know?” he said. Alwyn attended the Oscars as part of the cast of the nominated movie “The Brutalist.” Adrien Brody won Best Actor for the drama, but it lost the Best Picture and Best Director races to “Anora.” There have been 25 James Bond movies since 1962.

The titular character has been portrayed by seven actors: Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.Craig, 57, made his last outing as Bond in 2021’s “No Time To Die.” Recently, the 007 world had a shakeup, as longtime Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.

Wilson have ceded control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon.The Broccoli family have been in charge since 1962’s “Dr. No.” “My respect, admiration and love for Barbara and Michael remain constant and undiminished,” 56-year-old Craig, who played 007 in five films, told Variety in reaction to the news. “I wish Michael a long, relaxing (and well-deserved) retirement, and whatever ventures Barbara goes on to do, I know they will be spectacular and I hope I can be part of them.”The 97th Academy Awards included a Bond tribute during the Conan O’Brien-hosted ceremony.
