* British actor Regé-Jean Page is in high demand in Hollywood. Since his appearance as Simon Basset in the Shonda Rhimes Netflix show Bridgerton, which earned him an Emmy nomination, he has appeared in big budget films like The Gray Man, and his role as The Paladin in Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
* In an interview with RadioTimes.com, the Russo brothers mention how they can see the actor as the next James Bond. “He’s fantastic. I mean, he has more charisma in his pinky than most people do in their entire body,” said Joe Russo. “So you know, we’d watch him do anything - I mean we’d watch him read the phonebook!”
* Henry Cavill leads the pack of James Bond hopefuls with 3/1 odds, with Regé-Jean Page following with 7/2 odds and Tom Hardy with 6/1 odds. Franchise producer Barbara Broccoli recently said that it will be “at least two years” before a new James Bond movie starts production.
