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.
My Pregnant Wife Started Returning Home Late at Night – I Lost Control When I Found Out the Reason

One night, I realized something was wrong when my wife didn’t come home from work by 11 p.m. This was unusual because she always texted if she’d be late. When I called her, she claimed to be working late, but her voice trembled.
This pattern continued, raising my concern. One night, I found her crying in the living room. She blamed pregnancy hormones, but I sensed a deeper issue.
I discovered her coworkers were bullying her, offloading their work onto her and mocking her. Seeing this, I decided to intervene. I confronted her tormentors, making it clear I knew what they were doing and would take legal action if necessary. This encounter, which I didn’t tell my wife about, led to an immediate change—she started coming home earlier, happier.
Despite the improvement, the bullying had left scars. I realized my role was to support her, not just confront the bullies. We sought therapy and focused on preparing for our baby, finding joy and strength together.
Our daughter’s birth was a symbol of hope. As I watched my wife with our newborn, I felt immense gratitude and love. I hope she leaves that toxic job, but regardless, I will always stand by her.
This journey taught us the power of love, support, and resilience. For anyone facing similar challenges, remember you’re not alone. Stand up against bullying, lean on loved ones, and believe in the power of kindness. Our story, marked by struggle and triumph, is a testament to love and unity.
