"They're looking for an actor to replace Daniel Craig for future 007 movies," Flowers tweeted. "I think my grandson, Miles Teller, has proven that he has everything they're looking for- talent, looks, strength,worldwide appeal & oh, so cool. He can be that guy!! Wouldn't he be great?" Flowers' familial endorsement was met with tempered enthusiasm from commenters, many of whom brought up that Bond is British. Charlie Hunnam Says He Is '100 Percent' Open to Playing James Bond: I Would Be 'Flattered' "If he was from Great Britain I would agree," commented one person, while another said, "Except he's American. Bond is BRITISH." Teller's grandmother responded to the latter: "And lots of Europeans have played Americans. He studied acting which includes accents. He'd be great." Flowers' pitch comes more than two years before another installment of the next 007 movie. With Daniel Craig having bowed out of the iconic role, the search is on for his replacement, but producers have been quiet about any movement on that front. Daniel Craig as James Bond.

"We're working out where to go with him, we're talking that through," Broccoli, 62, told the outlet. Among possible stiff competition for the role is Idris Elba, whose name surfaced earlier this year during a Deadline podcast. "Well, we know Idris, I'm friends with him, and he's a magnificent actor," Broccoli said.

"I think we have decided that until No Time to Die has kind of had its run and Daniel has been able to, well, we've all been able to, reap the benefits of Daniel's wonderful tenure, we're not gonna think about or talk about anybody else, actors to play the role or storylines or anything. We just wanna live in the moment, the present," Broccoli said. Close
