So, why not a 51-year-old James Bond from Croatia?

Is Višnjić set to be the next James Bond? Rumors that the producers are looking for someone slightly different to play James Bond emerged in March 2024. One of the names who keeps cropping up is Goran Višnjić.

UPDATE 19/04/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Every man, at some point in his life, wishes he could be James Bond. And with the news that Daniel Craig may well be out as 007, there are a whole bunch of actors from London to Zagreb wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Goran Višnjić become the Seventh James Bond?

Višnjić’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Leverage (2008-2012), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) and ER (1999-2009). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Višnjić now is – what next?

Three reasons Goran Višnjić would be good for the James Bond franchise

  1. It would clarify that Bond is a rotating identity: If M can be a woman, why can't James Bond be a 51-year-old Croatian?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Višnjić.
  3. It would give Goran Višnjić a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
