The hunt for the next James Bond is on. Over the past month, there have been many reports of the continuation of the James Bond series, which is seeking to cast its lead star. The reboot will provide a new British actor with the opportunity to take the action franchise in a new direction. Action veteran Eiza González has revealed her pick for the part.

González and Cavill recently starred in “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” an action film that’s based on the real life story of the Special Operations Executive. Interestingly enough, Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond books, is also involved in the film’s plot.

Late last month, it was reported that Aaron Taylor Johnson had been offered the part, but various sources claim that there’s no certainty to those rumors.
Other names that have popped up over the years Tom Hardy, James Norton, Richard Madden, and more. Recently, Cillian Murphy, who just won an Oscar for “Oppenheimer” was also a favorite for the role.
"Cillian [Murphy] would do a magnificent job as James Bond on His Majesty's Secret Service,” said former James Bond Pierce Brosnan.
