Is Tom Hardy going to be James Bond?
He's not not the new James Bond either — but his casting remains a rumour for now. It may disappoint you, but that's the truth — and why Hardy or Eon haven't as much as commented on the 'leak'. But don't despair!
Henry Cavill fans can finally see the British actor as James Bond — sorta. A fake Bond movie trailer “starring” the former Witcher star has been racking up millions of views on YouTube despite being a total fake.
Bond's co-owner MGM was acquired by Amazon in 2022, and long time 007 producer Michael G Wilson assured fans that the character will return: "It's a whole new world," he said in 2022. "We've got to see what happens with Amazon. But there'll always be a Bond.”
Tom Hiddleston can definitively be ruled out as the next James Bond, thanks to his return to one of his most acclaimed projects. Even during Daniel Craig's James Bond movie run, there was endless discourse surrounding who would take over the part when he left.
Cavill resides in South Kensington, London. He was engaged to English show jumper Ellen Whitaker from 2011 until 2012. In May 2021, he announced his relationship with Natalie Viscuso. On 15 April 2024, it was announced that they are expecting their first child.
Craig's embittered Bond is perpetually nearing retirement in the darker, post-9/11 spy installments, but the actor isn't actually much older than his predecessors. Craig was only 38 when he took on the role in 2006's Casino Royale, younger than Brosnan and Dalton's respective first outings as James Bond.
Idris Elba. It was a joke. I swear to God.” In October 2021, after the premiere of No Time to Die (Craig's last movie as James Bond), Elba confirmed to ITV that he still hadn't been offered to be the next James Bond. “No, I'm not going to be James Bond,” he said.
Daniel Craig and his actress wife Rachel Weisz are rumored to have a combined net worth in the region of $190 million but they do not intend to leave their vast fortune to their children. Whilst being interviewed for his most recent film he was asked about leaving his Estate to his children.
Older mums are also being increasingly seen in the celebrity sphere, with everyone from Janet Jackson — who was 50 when she gave birth to her son in 2017 — to Rachel Weisz — who had her first child with husband Daniel Craig aged 48 in 2018 — making headlines.
The couple have been married since 2011, but it seems Rachel Weisz is keen to keep their work and private life separate. Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig have worked on several projects in the past, but the actress says fans shouldn't expect to see the married couple on screen together anytime soon.
What's the age difference between Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz?
The couple first crossed paths in the 1990s before later reconnecting on the set of Dream House. Daniel, 55, plays publisher Will Atenton in the psychological thriller, whilst Rachel, 53, stars as Will's wife, Libby. Prior to finding love with Daniel, Rachel split from her ex-Darren Aronofsky after nine years together.
Their disagreements and the rocky relationship may have coaxed Sean Connery to have made the decision to remove Jason from his will. Diane Cilento has iterated that their son has never received a cent from his father and Sean had no intention of leaving Jason a part of his large fortune.
Who Inherited Connery's Wealth? Following his death, all of Sean Connery's assets were distributed to his wife, children, and siblings by his Will Document.
In 2001, Weisz began dating the American filmmaker and producer, Darren Aronofsky. They met backstage at London's Almeida Theatre, where she was starring in The Shape of Things. Weisz moved to New York City with Aronofsky the following year; in 2005, they were engaged. Their son was born in May 2006 in New York City.
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are one of Hollywood's brightest couples, but their private life is very much kept private. Behind the scenes, The Mummy star, 54, and her James Bond actor husband, 56, are parents to a daughter who was born in 2018.
