Hiddleston is said to be in advanced talks but without an official offer having been made yet. Hiddleston has previously stated that he would like to take on the role.
The next James Bond movie is slated for a 2018 release at the earliest. The film will be the 25th instalment in the James Bond series.
Thoughts on this report? Do you think that Tom Hiddleston would be a good choice to play James Bond?
Jamie Bell (Fantastic Four, Billy Elliot, Jumper, King Kong) is reportedly in talks to over the iconic role of James Bond from Daniel Craig, who is said to have turned down a deal to return as 007.
Bell has reportedly met with Bond film producer Barbara Broccoli about taking on the role. Broccoli has been working as a producer on the James Bond films since The Living Daylights (1987) and her first job on the films was as a publicity department assistant on The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). She recently worked with Bell on his latest film Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool.

Daniel Craig (Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre) has reportedly turned down a deal to star in two more James Bond movies.
Craig is the highest paid actor to have played James Bond. He earned approximately £38 million for his four Bond films. MGM apparently offered to nearly double that if he signed on for the two more films, which would’ve earned him £68 million across those two films. However, it’s said that he isn’t interested in returning even with the offer of nearly double the money.
A source stated:
“Daniel is done – pure and simple – he told top brass at MGM after Spectre. They threw huge amounts of money at him, but it just wasn’t what he wanted. He had told people after shooting that this would be his final outing, but the film company still felt he could come around after Spectre if he was offered a money deal. With knee problems and general exhaustion, he felt it was a journey with an ending.”
Craig picked up a knee injury during filming of Spectre and it’s likely that this influenced his decision to quit after Spectre.
MGM executives are said to be willing to let Craig leave after growing tired of his negative attitude towards the Bond franchise. Production on the next James Bond film will likely start with a new actor in the lead role.
Thoughts on this report? Are you disappointed that Daniel Craig may be leaving the James Bond franchise?
A new trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows has been released. The trailer shines the spotlight on villains Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly).
You can watch the trailer below:
Sheamus said:
“Rocksteady and Bebop are two thugs who dream of being supreme criminals. Unfortunately their intellect is lacking in that department, and they bring a lot of chaos to the movie. I wanted to do this role because I’m a huge fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and have been since I was a kid. I love the character, and I really wanted to be part of this movie. I saw and loved the original movies in the cinema when I was a kid, and I really enjoyed the reboot from a couple of years ago. I had already achieved one childhood dream — becoming a WWE superstar. And now, being involved with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, at this level, with such a great cast, is another one.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is set for release on June 3rd, 2016.
Thoughts on the trailer? Are you looking forward to seeing Bebop and Rocksteady in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows?

Boyega reprises his role for the game and has recorded new dialogue that will be used in Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. However, the dialogue featured in the video appears to be from the film.
