James Bond Fans Weigh in on Rumor Tom Hardy Will Replace Daniel Craig Following ‘No Time to Die’

In a 2017 interview with The Daily Beast, Hardy said he would lose a chance to play Bond if he publicly discussed it. However, Hardy did suggest Christopher Nolan, his director on The Dark Knight Rises and Dunkirk, would be a good fit for the Bond franchise. "You know, there's a saying amongst us in the fraternity of acting, and in the fellowship of my peer group, that if you talk about it you're automatically out of the race. So I can't possibly comment on that one," Hardy said at the time. "If I mention it, it's gone."
No Time to Die was directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, the first American director to work on a James Bond movie. It is Craig's fifth time playing 007, and it also features the return of Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux, Jeffey Wright, Christoph Waltz, and Ralph Fiennes. Rami Malek and Ana de Armas also star.
