For some time now, rumors have been growing of who will be successor of Daniel Craig in

the James Bond series.

This isn't really surprising, since part of the plot in the new Bond 25 will revolve around the

retired James Bond, suggesting that it will be over afterwards.

For a few days now, the British actress Lashana Lynch has been regarded as the successor.

Should the rumors turn out to be true, she would not only be the first female, but also the

first dark-skinned 007 actress. Whether she will appear in the new Bond adventure Bond 25

or not is understandably still an unanswered question.

Lynch thus joins the long line of possible successors to Daniel Craig, including Thor actor

Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba, Heery Cavill and even Robb Stark.

Bond 25 is expected to be released in the us on April 8, 2020.
