Fan base and popularity wise, Theo James enjoy a distinct edge having shot to stardom with the “Divergent” movie series opposite American actress Shailene Woodley. But in terms of depth in acting, “The Night Manager” actor enjoys a clear edge. Hiddleston also plays a British spy in the TV special which is quite similar to what he will do should he be chosen as the next James Bond.
Fans and critics certainly could not help compare the credentials of both actors vying to become the next Agent 007.
At 35 years old, Hiddleston also enjoys an advantage over the 31-year-old James.
In a recent interview, Director Sam Mendes of the James Bond franchise said that there has been a constant debate about who is going to be the next James Bond actor.
He said that the truth is that it’s not actually a competition and it’s not a democracy. He added that it’s not the “X Factor,” nor an EU referendum, much more a public vote. The choice of the next James Bond actor is reserved for one woman alone and that woman is no other than producer Barbara Brocolli, Mendes said
As the woman behind the James Bond franchise, Barbara Brocolli is the one who picked Daniel Craig to become the next James Bond back in 2005.
Mendes said that Barbara has been brilliant in choosing the James Bond actor and it is likely that she will make the right choice soon.
