With Daniel Craig leaving the franchise after 2021's No Time to Die, the next 007 is still up in the air.

After a sip, Tucci asked his Citadel co-star “How's yours?”. Madden replied: “Delicious”.

One fan wrote: “I don't know what drinks look like, but if that's Richard Madden drinking a Martini that's been shaken, not stirred……imma hit the roof with excitement”.
Another claimed: “There you go, here’s the new James Bond” while a third asked: “Is that the new James Bond?”.
Still another begged: “To the gods of 007 this is a no brainer”.
Last year Aaron Taylor-Johnson was revealed to allegedly be the main choice to replace Daniel Craig after taking part in a secret screen test.
The actor, 32, is said to have impressed producer Barbara Broccoli during an audition at Pinewood Studios, where many of the franchise's films have been filmed.
A source told The Sun: 'Aaron went for a screen test to be the next Bond in September and producers and Barbara loved him. He is now one of the front-runners.'
This comes after reports that Idris Elba walked away from “years of talks” with movie bosses to become the next James Bond, paving the way for a new 007.
Madden is currently starring in thriller series Citadel, alongside Tucci. – The Vibes, April 29, 2023
