As James Bond fans await Daniel Craig’s decision on whether he will return for a fifth outing as 007, other actors have revealed they’d like to play the iconic spy.
While Spider-Man star Tom Holland expressed interest, the latest to throw his hat into the ring is Pirates star Orlando Bloom.
The 40-year-old actor was recently interviewed by the BBC for his new action film Unlocked and revealed what his Bond would be like if cast.
He said: “I think a bit of that kind of very English, but that sort of twinkle with the muscular dynamic.

He added: “I grew up loving those films, who didn’t y’know?
“I’m sure they’ll do more with Daniel and who knows where they’ll go with that but the franchise is a fabric of our society…and it’s something that people relate and laugh and enjoy.
“[It’s] a little bit of who Jack [Sparrow] is. That sort of wink and twinkle behind the eyes is what I saw in both Sean Connery and Roger Moore.
“I love what Daniel Craig did…[being] muscular and dynamic. I think there’s a combination of all of that, that is really interesting.”
