Weird Video Hinting at New James Bond Has 007 Fans Riled Up
After the past few years of radio silence on the new James Bond, the weirdest things make the fans jump to conclusions — even the most generic Instagram videos.
The Agent 007 franchise is seriously lacking life at the moment, but its new era is supposedly about to come with a new reboot.
Ever since Daniel Craig 's Bond appeared in his last movie, the speculations on who will inherit the Agent's most expensive suits have been going non-stop.
But it's been too long, and people are starving for news. James Bond 's legacy needs to be continued and is bound to do so, and the main question is still hanging in the air: what lucky actor will get the chance to reimagine one of the world's most famous and large franchises and write their name in movie history books?
In attempts to answer this question, the good people of the Internet scan everything posted on the web that can be even remotely related to the Bond franchise.
Recently, they saw a clever hint toward the next Agent 007 in a weird Instagram video by the Citadel star Stanley Tucci that features Richard Madden.
The reason behind the speculation is that in the video, Richard and Stanley are drinking martinis, and when Tucci asks his co-star how he likes his, Madden giggles and replies: "Delicious."
The only thing that connects this clip to the James Bond franchise is the fact that Agent 007 famously loves martini, and Richard Madden is both experienced in spy movies and is young enough to inherit the legendary suit.
While at this point, such an assumption seems like a huge stretch, there's definitely something in the idea of Madden becoming the new Bond.
His style could totally help reimagine the Agent's nature and keep true to the original franchise at the same time.
Richard's substantial experience with playing cool-suited guys with guns is a massive bonus, too, as he starred in Bodyguard, Bastille Day, and Citadel, to name a few.
We'd say, even if Tucci's Instagram clip had nothing to do with it and the James Bond producers haven't toyed with the idea of inviting Richard Madden so far, they should totally consider it.
