With Craig likely putting away his license to kill after Bond 25 hits theaters, the coveted role of Bond will soon be up for grabs. And according to a report, Eon Productions already have a good idea of what they want to do as regards casting 007. Bodyguard star Richard Madden, also happens to be Scottish.
Of course, the original cinematic James Bond was the Scottish Sean Connery, and in many people's eyes he remains the bar that every other Bond has to get over. After Connery, the role was taken up for one film by the Australian George Lazenby before the English Roger Moore settled in for a long run. The Welshman Timothy Dalton took on 007 for two films before ceding the role to Pierce Brosnan, who was born in Ireland.
News that Eon seek to bring Bond back to his roots and cast a Scottish actor to play the role comes after loads of speculation that the series might break with tradition Bond will "never" be a woman. Clearly, the Broccolis and Eon have no interest in going against the grain when it comes to casting the next Bond after Bond 25, and indeed are even seeking to bring the character back in line with Fleming's original conception, at least in of nationality.
