Bond 26: Regé-Jean Page Isn’t Killing His 007 Chance With Blockbuster Roles
Whether or not Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page ends up gaining the role of 007 in Bond 26, the potential James Bond star is not jeopardizing his chances for the part by taking on major blockbuster roles. At the current time, it’s tricky to predict where the James Bond franchise will go next. As of 2022, Daniel Craig’s reign as James Bond is over, but no announcement has been made about who will be the next actor cast as the suave super-spy.
Although big names like Tom Hardy and Idris Elba have been discussed for Bond 26, it is still unclear who the franchise’s producers are leaning toward. One name that has come up a lot is Regé-Jean Page, whose comparative obscurity could bolster his chances at gaining the part. However, Page is right not to avoid high-profile projects in the meantime.

That said, this ignores the history of the role, which has seen several iconic actors claim the part after having already been a well-known name.
