It’s been a year since we last saw the action-packed movie of the 007 agent James Bond in No Time To Die. Now, several actors are dreaming of bagging this role and so is Miles Teller’s grandmother (for Miles Teller, of course). After Daniel Craig bids farewell to the Bond franchise once and for all, this is anyone’s game to take up the mantle and be called the next Bond.

The need for a mix-up

To date, only the Australian actor George Lazenby has been known to play the titular character of Bond in the film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Making him the only non-British character to take up the role of James Bond. Miles Teller would love for the producers to mix it up and let James Bond be played by other ethnicities as well!
