Sam Heughan has announced that he would like to be the next James Bond after he missed his chance when he auditioned the first time for Casino Royale.
When predecessor Pierce Brosnan left, Daniel Craig stepped into 007’s shoes but Heughan had been desperate to play the role himself. With Craig now leaving in his last film No Time to Die, the subject of who will be the next Bond is a hot topic once again.
“Obviously it’s a dream for every actor. I auditioned for it back when they were doing Bond 21 when Daniel Craig was cast… I think a lot of actors were seen in the U.K.”

The competition for the next Bond is tough, however, with actors such as Idris Elba, Henry Cavill, James Norton, Goran Visnjic, Richard Madden and Tom Hiddleston also in the rumoured lineup.
