Not been released yet but article says the choice should be announced imminently
It's going to be hilarious if it's the guy who plays River Cartwright on Slow Horses, as the entire point of the character is that he looks and acts like James Bond, has James-Bond bloodlines, and can't understand why he's stuck with the other rejects, but inevitably screws up something extremely important, just short of getting himself killed or fired. One of the best running jokes on the show, really.
I hope it is him, I think he's filling that role amazingly on Slow Horses and he's a great actor. I think he can take it up a notch to Bond
Yeah, I'll actually feel bad if I can't get over it, because undoubtedly "James Bond type" was part of the casting for River, and he fits it to a T.
