The "James Bond 25" cast is not yet final. However, speculations have been around for a long time.

The latest name to add to the list of stars considered in the iconic role includes Jake Huston. Also, there is new man showing his interest in becoming the villain for the next movie. 

"James Bond 25": Daniel Craig Or Jack Huston?

 A few months ago, the James Bond of the last few movies, Daniel Craig ruled out the possibility of starring in the upcoming Bond flick. He rather seemed completely disinterested in continuing with the franchise. And just a few weeks ago, he made a reverse statement indicating that he may play the iconic role one more time, given the chance in "James Bond 25."

But maybe he is too late for that. According to Just Jared, the production team is currently eyeing Jake Huston to replace Craig in their upcoming Bond sequel. The source said that the "Ben-Hur" star is a hot favorite of producer Barbara Broccoli to replace Craig. Rather, this time, she very much wants a black actor to play the Bond role in "James Bond 25."

Reports also said that Idris Elba is also being considered for the role but the possibility is very low, as the actor is a bigger name now. According to Broccoli, it does not matter whether the actor is Black, White or Brown.

The important thing is that she wants a great actor to replace Craig for "James Bond 25." Of course, if Daniel Craig steps in to reprise the role, all considerations will vanish in thin air as certainly, he is the best as of now.

Tony Bellew Wants To Be Next Bond Movie Villain

World cruiser weight champion Tony Bellew wants to star as a villain in the next Bond movie reports, Daily Star. The champ already has an experience of sharing the big screen with Hollywood stars.

He acted alongside Sylvester Stallone in the "Creed," which was the spinoff of "Rocky," released in 2015. So, it will not be surprising to see the heavyweight champion as the next Bond villain in the upcoming "James Bond 25."
