The next James Bond should be him, according to the director of Barbie
“Everyone was speechless on set!”
Still no successor for Daniel Craig. But Greta Gerwig already figured out who should play next James Bond. For the director of barbie, one of its actors is ideal for the role. Ryan Gosling? Ncuti Gatwa? Michael Cera?
No, for Variety, Gerwig assures that Kingsley Ben Adir is the man for the job. She remembers having directed the English actor, revealed by The O.A.in one of the last scenes of barbie. After telling Ben-Adir to “take the throne” while filming her last big moment, she was amazed:
“Everyone was speechless on the set! I said to myself: immediately pass these images on to whoever will direct the next James Bond!”
Kingsley Ben Adir plays Basketball Ken in barbie. We also saw him as a Marvel villain this year in the mini-series Secret Invasion and soon, he will be Bob Marley in the biopic, Bob Marley: One Love.
It remains that for the moment, the producers of James Bond are still far from having moved on to the casting phase of the next 007. In recent days, they were tempering and explaining that it was going to take some more time.
