And fans have been floating names around, speculating on who could be playing the super spy next – including Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, and Tom Hiddleston. And there’s a rumor going around that Harry Styles has been tapped to play 007.
Harry has reportedly met with James Bond producers to discuss the role. A source even told The Sun that “Harry is deadly serious. He has had a series of high-level meetings about becoming 007. Harry believes he is the final two.”
“Harry is a new age British man…he’s confident in his own skin and making him Bond would signal the franchise changing with the times,” the source added.
However, The Daily Mail reports that Harry won’t be replacing Daniel.
According to the outlet, Harry’s rep said the rumors that the “Fine Line” singer is the next James Bond “aren’t even remotely true.”
Harry has actually previously shared his thoughts about playing the role of the iconic British spy – he was asked about his interest in playing Bond during an interview with Britain’s Hits Radio.
“I mean, who wouldn’t?” Harry replied. “I grew up watching those. You know, I loved him when I was a kid. So I think it’s kind of everyone’s dream a little bit, right?”
