Taron Egerton has ruled himself out of contention for the role of James Bond in Amazon's new iteration of the franchise, citing that he feels he is not the right fit for the iconic character. The Welsh actor expressed admiration for Daniel Craig's portrayal but believes younger actors would be better suited for the role. Egerton mentioned that he is open to more commercial projects in the future but currently prefers roles that speak to him creatively. Amazon is reportedly looking to cast a British actor under 30 for the role, with names like Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland, and Harris Dickinson in consideration.
