Bodyguard star Richard Madden becomes Daniel Craig’s James Bond successor in a stunning piece of fan art that imagines 007’s future on the big screen.
Scottish actor Richard Madden is best known to audiences for his role as Robb Stark in HBO’s Game of Thrones, but he’s had a lot of success outside of the hit series. Richard Madden is currently a fan-favorite to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond thanks to his role as troubled war veteran David Budd in Bodyguard, which won him the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama.
Daniel Craig’s first cinematic solo outing as James Bond hit theaters in 2006. Now, Daniel Craig’s upcoming fifth outing as the iconic character is also set to be his last, so fans are already fan-casting actors as the next James Bond. Digital artist Mizuri recently took to Instagram to share a piece that imagines Richard Madden as James Bond, revealing what the Bodyguard actor could look like as Daniel Craig’s 007 successor.
