In a recent installment of Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, Tom Holland conveyed his interest in taking on the iconic character of James Bond. The 27-year-old actor playfully remarked about his dapper appearance in a suit and expressed his keenness to assume the highly sought-after role. Tom added a touch of humor, noting that he would be a “rather short James Bond” given his height of 5 feet 6 inches. Amidst promoting his new Apple TV film, “Cherry,” and filming the upcoming Spider-Man installment, Tom has joined the list of contenders to succeed Daniel Craig as the next James Bond.This revelation comes in the wake of 31-year-old heartthrob Regé-Jean Page, known for his role in Bridgerton, dropping subtle hints about his aptitude for the James Bond role. Speculation about the next 007 has swirled around well-known figures such as Idris Elba, Sam Heughan from Outlander, James Norton, and Tom Hardy.In January, Regé-Jean emerged as a formidable contender in the race, with Ladbrokes recognizing him as a leading candidate.

The anticipation for Daniel Craig’s ultimate portrayal of the 007 agent in “N.T.T.D,” the 25th film in the franchise, has heightened discussions about his successor.
