"With Daniel Craig suiting up to play James Bond for the fifth and final time, the rumor mill has kicked into overdrive speculating about who will succeed him in the role of 007. This has been a media tradition throughout the franchise's long history ever since Sean Connery retired his license to kill. But while there have only been six actors to (officially) play 007 onscreen, there have been dozens that the media has erroneously labeled as being ""the next James Bond."" Here then are 25 actors who have been pegged as the Next James Bond … and who never ended up playing Bond (well, not yet anyway for maybe one of them)."
