“I don’t think I’m going to be in the next one,” he said in an interview with the BBC. “I think they’re going to start all over again, and with a new cast, a completely new cast. I think that’s my hunch, but I don’t know. I have no idea.”
It is not unusual for the cast to rotate with new Bonds, and with Daniel stepping away from the title role, this would be a natural start for a new casting cycle.
He added, “I think it might need a new lease of life and a whole new group of people. But if they asked me, I would do it, of course.”
It looks like Ben could be correct that they’re planning an all new cast, as there’s a rumor that an actress auditioned for the role of M, played by Ralph Fiennes in the past 3 movies.
