A replacement for Daniel Craig as James Bond has been tough to find, but a new star has joined the race and is a strong contender. It’s none other than Cillian Murphy, who became Hollywood’s most desired man after his Oscar-winning performance in Oppenheimer. However, many disagree that he’d be a good choice to play the renowned character and here’s why.
As per The Sun, Cillian’s portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer has grabbed the attention of Bond executives, who are actively seeking Daniel’s successor. An insider mentioned that «Cillian is the toast of Hollywood right now, and this would be the ultimate role.»
But it wouldn’t just be a plus for the actor. The same source says it could benefit the franchise as well. «This is a way to elevate the Bond franchise with an actor who is at the very top of his game.»
But, although James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has been closely monitoring Cillian for the past year, there is still some time for a decision as production on the 26th Bond movie is not expected to start until late 2025.
There’s no lack of support from Cillian’s co-star, Clay Bunker, who is publicly rooting for the Irish actor to take on the role of 007. «He would fare beautifully. It’s funny because Cillian is the nicest human, but he has that dark side and there’s a darkness to Bond,» he said. «We forget that sometimes Bond is like the character [Ian] Fleming created — a pretty dark character. He just happens to be on the side that we call good. Cillian has that ability to tap into that.»
Unfortunately, not everyone online agrees with Bunker. Some users have expressed their disappointment in the fact that Cillian is even running for the part. «He’s almost 50! You need someone young who will be able to last through multiple movies. Someone like Jacob Elordi,» one person commented. And others share the same sentiment, adding, «I like him, and he’s a great actor, but he is not Bond by any stretch of the imagination.»
Still, there are fans who would be thrilled to see it happen. «I think he’d be perfect. Bond is a cold, calculating spy, actually. If Cillian decided to take on the role, he would give an exceptional performance, as always,» someone wrote.
And the people have not only spoken, they’ve also voted! Through an online voting poll, thousands of James Bond fans expressed what actor they’d most like to see portray James Bond next, and the results are in. Click here to see the ranking.

Teenagers find a “frozen” creature stuck under the car and rush it to the vet who can’t believe her eyes
Two male teenagers were taking a stroll in their neighborhood when they noticed some people congregated around a car.
They tried to see what the group was looking at as they got closer, but it was the strangest thing they had ever seen.
The creature remained perfectly still and devoid of movement.
Though the lads knew they had to act quickly to save the animal, they had no idea how to save the poor thing.
Friends Jaydon Pettipas and Aidan Hart made the startling discovery close to the town of Saint Andrews in New Brunswick, according to the Canadian news source CBC.
The two teenage guys would receive recognition for their bravery before the day was over.
When they noticed several of them gathered together, they had to look into what was making people stop and stare. Even up close, though, they had no idea what they were looking at.
The animal was almost unrecognizable, as if it had been frozen solid.

Beneath a car was a squirrel caught in insulating foam. They knew how short its earthly life was.
According to Jaydon, 15, “It was unrecognizable,” he told CBC Canada.
The boys realized the squirrel required care but didn’t know how to give it, so they went inside a grocery shop and picked out a miniature milk container to keep it.
As time passed, things got worse and no one in the area could give the lads any advice.
The children begged for help over the phones to friends and family.
Then Jaydon’s mother stepped in and made a 20-mile call to a veterinarian, asking that the animal be brought in immediately.
St. George Veterinary Clinic’s Dr. Melanie Eagan said, “This is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”
She said the squirrel was so wrapped in insulating foam that it could not move its back legs.
If the boys hadn’t moved so quickly and their mother hadn’t helped them get the squirrel inside, the squirrel wouldn’t have survived.
The veterinarian speculated that the cat might have been living in someone’s shed, garage, or cellar and became tangled in the belongings.
“Become upset”
“Perhaps someone was caulking a hole to keep a draft out because this little guy ran through it while it was still wet,” she remarked. But that stuff solidifies quite quickly, so it wouldn’t have taken him long to become upset.
She said that one needed to be patient and use rubbing alcohol to remove the froth from the animal’s fur. She continued to brush it out, causing the animal to lose some fur.
The squirrel has been permitted to re-enter the wild ever since.
Thankfully, these two kind-hearted teenagers took quick action to save the unfortunate animal!Please help us celebrate their hard work by spreading the news!
