The Russo Brothers are Team Regé-Jean Page for James Bond
The Gray Man star has been haunted by Bond rumors since Bridgerton, but the Russos are all for it
“Nobody’s in the running” to play James Bond, according to producer Barbara Broccoli, but that won’t stop the rabid speculation until a casting decision is finally announced. So if, as Broccoli says, the next film is “at least two years away,” it’s going to be a long two years for Regé-Jean Page.
Page’s name has been in the running since Bridgerton first hit it big, and he’s still a frontrunner nearly two years later. Coming off of his first somewhat Bond-esque film, The Gray Man, that movie’s directors are in support of Page taking up the mantle. When asked about the rumors linking Page to the role, Joe Russo tells the U.K.’s Radio Times, “He’s fantastic. I mean, he has more charisma in his pinky than most people do in their entire body. So you know, we’d watch him do anything—I mean we’d watch him read the phonebook!”
