James Bond Bosses To Start Search For Daniel Craig’s Replacement

James Bond bosses to start search for Daniel Craig’s replacement after No Time To Die

Daniel Craig is set to step down as suave spy James Bond following the release of No Time To Die. Producers will need to start looking for a new Bond to replace Daniel – but when will they start looking for Daniel’s replacement?

Producers will soon be on the hunt for a new James Bond as Daniel Craig is stepping down.

Daniel’s last outing as the world’s most famous spy will be in the hotly-anticipated No Time To Die, which will be released in cinemas this Thursday after a number of delays due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Now bosses will need consider who to hire next for the role – with names like Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Luke Evans, Tom Hiddleston and Regé-Jean Page all being thrown into the hat.

However, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli says they won’t start looking for Daniel’s replacement until “next year”.

Admitting she was “in denial” about Daniel’s exit, Barbara revealed they would turn their attention on their next appointment in 2022.

“We want Daniel to have his time of celebration,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Today show.

“Next year we’ll start thinking about the future.”

Fellow producer Michael G. Wilson also explained how Daniel has left some “big shoes to fill” after five films.

Daniel played Bond for 15 years and he shared how the role gave him “more things in life than he could wish for”.

“I look at what I have done and go, ‘That is part of Goldfinger’. I am like, ‘Wow, I am connected to Goldfinger, Dr No, Live And Let Die,'” he said in documentary, Being James Bond.

“My tenure is what it is, but it is only part of something bigger. I look back at the films and am incredibly proud of everyone one of them. I know we have done our best and we have really done our best.”

Daniel was left in tears as he gave a speech to the cast and crew when filming wrapped on No Time To Die.

He added: “Leaving this role is not easy, it is a really difficult thing to do. And it is not about money and fame. I am incredibly lucky and fortunate to have been able to do this.

Oladips Slams Qdot For Rushing to Announce that he is alive after death announcement

Rapper Oladips has slammed his colleague Qdot for informing the world that he is still alive after his “death” was announced.

Oladips accused Qdot of chasing clout by announcing that he was still alive.

He wrote: “I know there is cruise, there is clout, and then there is truth…!!!

“Qdot the reason why you posted ‘My gee is alive’ at a time my family was unsure of my situation is so appalling & uncalled for.

“I dey where I dey struggle with my life you dey post ‘my gee is alive’. Unnecessarily misleading everyone. Made it look like me and you just had a conversation.

“Bro I went through it hard & anything could have happened.

“The last time I & you had any conversation was Jan 2nd 2022. I get proof & soon I’ll tell the story in full!!!

“Cos why una dey always do like this for this industry tori Olorun?”
He went on to call out a social media user who posted a 2-year-old video of them together as proof that he was alive.

He also accused bloggers of “misleading gullible Nigerians for likes & comments”. He did not state how Nigerians were misled by bloggers, considering that the news of his death came from his verified social media account and was signed by his management after a video of him writhing in pain while being rushed to hospital was also shared via his account. He has also not claimed that he was hacked.

On Nov. 13, a video of Oladips appearing to fight for his life was shared via his Instagram account. The following day, on Nov. 14, his death was announced via his page, though many suspected it was a publicity stunt because he had just released a song about dying young.

Then, on Nov. 17, Qdot announced that Oladips was not dead as he claimed, a move that obviously angered Oladips and forced him to return to social media to show proof of life
