Next James Bond film reportedly to replace all main cast members

Ben Whishaw, the actor who played 007's assistant and technical expert Q in "Skyfall", "Spectre" and "No Time to Die", recently revealed in an interview that he is unlikely to return for the next "007" movie, and that all the main roles except Q will be recast.

In an interview with the BBC he said: "I don't think I'll be in the next movie. I think they're going to start over and have a new cast. A completely new cast. That's just my hunch, but I'm not sure, I don't know."

Although he believes that a complete "reboot" and inviting new actors to shoot is better for the "007" series, he said that if he is "recruited" by the producers, he would be willing to play again. He said: "I think it may need fresh vitality and a new group of people. But if they ask me, I am definitely willing to return."

The next 007 will be the 26th film in the series. It has been confirmed that the lead actor Daniel Craig will not return after starring in 5 films, and the role of 007 will be handed over to a newcomer. The most likely candidate is Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the actor from Bullet Train.
