The James Bond franchise has been one of the most successful movie franchise in the world, not only that, it has created numerous actor’s careers. Although the Bond films have been hugely successful in all its time, and that the ever-changing Bond actors have been hugely successful as well, there has been a call for the movie franchise to break its ‘bonds’ from a white leading man, saying that a person of color needs to play James Bond in the next film. 

Henry Goulding has been rumored to be slated as the new James Bond in the coming films. According to sources, Goulding fits perfectly as the new James Bond. 

Henry Goulding has found his way to be one of Hollywood’s heartthrob after he was made famous from playing Nick Young in the hit movie, ‘Crazy Rich Asians’. 

The film follows Henry Goulding into the world of the rich Asians as he struggles to get the approval of his mother on his middle-class girlfriend. 

‘Crazy Rich Asians’ became widely successful, not only with the Asian audiences but the entire world. 

This has led to Henry Goulding getting more roles. He also played the love interest of Game Of Thrones actress, Emilia Clarke, in Last Christmas, where he plays as a wandering soul who helps Clarke find her Christmas spirit. 

Goulding then played a part in ‘A Simple Favor’, playing as the husband of Blake Lively in the movie. 

The actor’s onscreen success has made him a big player for the next James Bond role. 

When asked whether he was offered to play the role of the legendary James Bond, the actor has stayed mum. 

The actor is said to support the idea of the new James Bond being a person of color and that he is a big supporter of more diversity in Hollywood productions. He has stated before that this is the time for Hollywood to change and that the next James Bond film has been given the opportunity to hire a POC actor or actress. 

This news has come into light after Daniel Craig, the current actor who plays James Bond revealed that he will be quitting the franchise after the 25th installment of the film. 

‘No Time To Die’ will be Daniel Craig’s last James Bond film and it is set to premiere this year. 

There have also been rumors that the next James Bond will be played by a black woman, this has gathered major support but the production team has yet to confirm this as well.
