The main candidate for the role of James Bond is a black actor from the Netflix series

In 2020, bookmakers were surethat Tom Hardy has the best chance of becoming the new James Bond. However, now the situation has changed, and a new favorite has been identified among potential candidates - 31-year-old Rege-Jean Page. About it writes Daily Express.

Bookmakers Ladbrokes reported that Page is now 10/11, while Hardy was 4/5 last year.

Rege-Jean Page is British with African roots. He was born in London but spent his childhood in Zimbabwe. Huge popularity fell on him recently, after the release of the series "Bridgerton" on Netflix, where he played one of the main roles.

The new actor should replace Daniel Craig, who played the role of 007 five times, and after the release of No Time to Die, he will say goodbye to her forever. In addition to Hardy and Page, Tom Hiddleston, Richard Madden, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Cillian Murphy and Henry Cavill were previously mentioned as potential candidates.

Pierce Brosnan, who played Bond from 1995 to 2002, spoke out in favor of Tom Hardy and Idris Elba. In his opinion, both can be great choices.

The MI6 agent franchise is now owned by MGM, which was recently acquired by Amazon. It is possible that the decision on the appointment of the actor will be made by the new leadership.
