There’s nothing like a grandmother’s love and support, right? Earlier this summer, Miles Teller’s grandmother Leona Flowers started a Twitter campaign to make him the next 007. Here’s what you need to know.
Has Miles Teller officially thrown his hat in the ring to play the next James Bond? Maybe. Or at least, that’s what his grandmother is suggesting. “They’re looking for an actor to replace Daniel Craig for future 007 movies. I think my grandson, Miles Teller, has proven that he has everything they’re looking for – talent, looks, strength, worldwide appeal and oh, so cool. He can be that guy!! Wouldn’t he be great?” she tweeted.
MIles Teller’s Grandmother Wants Him To Be The Next James Bond
During a golf tournament last week, Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier asked the 35-year-old if he would want to play James Bond. “Yeah. I mean, yeah, perfect. I think we’re actors, you know, so maybe you can mix it up a little bit,” he answered.
Meanwhile, Daniel Craig had his last outing in the role in 2021’s No Time To Die. While Teller might be keen to take on the role of the British Spy, he will have to wait as Bond producer Barbra Broccoli said in a recent interview with Deadline that it would be at least two years before the next movie begins filming. “There isn’t a script, and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is, and that takes time,” she said.
Yet, there’s no word on who will replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond. Broccoli and Michael G Wilson told reporters that they want to focus more on celebrating Daniel’s achievements rather than look for his replacement right away.
“No hunting. Daniel Craig – I want him to be Bond for as long as possible,” Broccoli told ITV news. “It’s very difficult, he’s been tremendous. I think tonight is about celebrating his achievements, giving him his time. And also celebrating all the real-life heroes we’re acknowledging here tonight, the people that have got us through the pandemic.”
