Tom Hiddleston has previously said that he was game to play James Bond, and last month rumors surfaced that he was actively in talks for the role of 007.
The rumors were bolstered by hints that James Bond 25 might be helmed by Susanne Bier, who directed Hiddleston in The Night Manager.
James Bond 25 (official title TBA) isn’t expected to reach theaters until 2018 or 2019.
Hiddleston may be too safe a choice with his classic British charm, or he might still end up being exactly the choice the Bond series needs.
