HOLLYWOOD megastar Michael Fassbender has declared who he wants to take over as James Bond – despite being in the running at one point himself. The Irish star, 47, has been one of the many names being bet on to take over as the new face of the 007 franchise, joining ranks including James Norton, Gangs of London’s Joe Cole, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Babygirl star Harris Dickinson.
Michael Fassbender's Choice
Michael has revealed who he would like to take on the role while promoting his latest movie, Black Bag. "Well, I think Regé-Jean Page could be a frontrunner after this, to be honest," he told US Weekly. "I think he’s fantastic. He’s got all the attributes. So, let’s wait and see."
Regé-Jean Page: A Rising Star
Regé-Jean Page is best known for his role as Duke Simon Bassett in the first season of Netflix smash hit Bridgerton. After his first appearance in Bridgerton back in 2020, he was rumoured to be signed up for Bond when he made the sudden announcement he would not be returning for season two of the show.
Support for Regé-Jean Page
As well as Fassbender, Regé-Jean’s contention for the Bond role was backed up by Naomie Harris, who herself has been part of the 007 world as Miss Moneypenny. "I think Regé would be amazing," she said. "I’d love Regé to be the next James Bond. But who knows? I don’t know what’s going to happen."
The Future of Bond
The comments come shortly after it was revealed the Broccoli family have handed the reins of James Bond over to Amazon. It’s expected it will be at least another three years before the iconic spy returns to our screens, with no announcement made on who will take over Daniel Craig.
Assurance for Bond Fans
Despite fears on what it could mean for the series – with worries the quintessentially British character could be made American or even female – insiders have since dispelled the rumours. An insider confirmed that the next Bond has to be British or from the Commonwealth and male.
