‘James Bond’ Hopefuls Battled for the Iconic Role



Taylor-Johnson, 36, fueled speculation he was to be the next Bond after appearing at Wimbledon in an all-white outfit drawing comparisons with Craig’s look in Spectre.

Norton, 40, also attended the championships in a sharply tailored light gray blazer and tie, even being photographed adjusting his cuffs in a manner that invited inevitable Bond comparisons.

O’Connor, 36, was meanwhile recently photographed in Paris dressed head-to-toe in Christian Dior before later being seen laughing with singer Sabrina Carpenter, whose own name has surfaced in speculation surrounding a future Bond film.

Theo James, 41, has also attracted attention after the trailer for the second season of The Gentlemen showcased him firing guns, racing speedboats and driving classic cars in scenes many fans likened to an unofficial Bond audition. Off screen, the actor has also been seen attending high-profile London events in impeccably tailored suits.

Cavill, 43, has long been regarded as one of the favorites for the 007 role.

The actor recently exchanged his Superman costume for traditional morning dress at Royal Ascot, while Turner, 36, made headlines after marrying singer Dua Lipa before honeymoon photographs showed him emerging from the sea in images reminiscent of Craig’s iconic introduction in Casino Royale.
