Fans have been speculating who will replace Daniel as the famous spy with favourites so far landing on James, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Richard Madden.
Yet James has dismissed the rumours, he recently told the Sunday Times: ‘It’s crazy. It’s not real. It’s speculative.
‘It’s bizarre and quite flattering to be even considered in that world, but beyond that? Pure speculation.’

According to the website: ‘The awards recognise young people who succeed against the odds, improve their chances in life and have a positive impact on their local community.’
‘We believe that every young person should have the chance to embrace exciting opportunities. So, we help 11 to 30 year-olds to find the tools and confidence to try free courses and start careers.’
Meanwhile, last year, Pierce said he was hoping for a woman to take over as the next Bond.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘I think we’ve watched the guys do it for the last 40 years.
‘Get out of the way, guys, and put a woman up there. I think it would be exhilarating, it would be exciting.’
Pierce, who played Bond on four occasions, then said: ‘I don’t think that’s going to happen with the Broccolis. I don’t think that is going to happen under their watch.’
