Next James Bond Movie Will Recast All The Major Roles, Actor Believes

As a dedicated James Bond fan who has witnessed the evolution of the franchise over the years, I must say that I find Ben Whishaw’s speculation about his return as Q intriguing. The fact that he expects a reboot with new actors could potentially breathe fresh air into the series, much like how a martini is shaken, not stirred.


Ben Whishaw, who portrayed the tech-savvy character Q in the James Bond films Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time to Die, expressed in a recent chat that he anticipates his role and the other principal characters will be handed over to new actors for the upcoming film.

He shared with the BBC (as per Variety’s report) that he likely won’t be part of the next installment. His belief is that they’re going to start fresh, with an entirely new cast. However, he admits this is just a guess, as he’s unsure about the details.

As a die-hard Bond fan, I find myself intrigued by Whishaw’s suggestion of a somewhat fresh take on the 07 series, involving new cast members. Yet, should the producers express a desire for my return, I am more than ready to slip back into the tuxedo and embrace the iconic role once again.

He suggested that it could benefit from a fresh start and a different crowd, he added. And yes, if given the opportunity, he’d certainly be on board with that.

Information about the upcoming James Bond film, set to be the 26th in the series, remains scarce. But it has been confirmed that Daniel Craig, who portrayed the British super-agent in five films, has wrapped up his tenure, paving the way for a new actor to take on the role. The most recent speculation suggests Aaron Taylor-Johnson could be the frontrunner, with some theories suggesting his name was leaked as a test of public reaction.

Regardless of the circumstances, all pieces will fall into place eventually since producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are busy assembling the movie. It is rumored that this film will serve as a reimagining of the series and its main character, so if these reports hold true, it would align with Whishaw’s assumption that they might be recasting the key roles.

Before Daniel Craig (Q) took over the role, it was previously acted out by Desmond Llewelyn from 1963 to 1999. Later on, John Cleese played the character. In the upcoming movie, you can see Daniel Craig as Q in Paddington’s adventure in Peru.

Beyond the upcoming Bond film, the creators at IO (Hitman developers) are also crafting an original James Bond video game set within his universe, offering a unique narrative.
