After Daniel Craig hung his tuxedo, Charlize Theron became Chris Hemsworth’s top choice to play the next James Bond. The war for the iconic 007 role continues as potential candidates like Henry Cavill and Tom Hardy fight hard to land the role. But again, Chris Hemsworth’s advice about Mad Max: Fury’s Imperator Furiosa certainly needs consideration.
Charlize Theron is Physically Capable Of Playing James Bond
While most Bond Girls from the $7.5 billion franchise felt that only a male James Bond would offer justice to the iconic 007 role,Chris Hemsworthfelt otherwise. In a video for W Magazine, Hemsworth declared that theCharlize Theronis the perfect next choice to order a martini shaken not stirred.

Chris Hemsworth said:
“I’ve made the comment that Charlize Theron should be the next Bond because she scares the hell out of me. And I think she could beat the s**t out of me and most villains out there.
She embodies every ounce of strength and nobility and dignity and integrity that that character should have. She’s smart as hell. She’s physically able.”
TheThoractor’s gracious words come from experience. Hemsworth has first-hand knowledge of the South African actress’ fighting capabilities as the two co-starred inSnow White and the Huntsmanand its sequel,The Huntsman: Winter’s War.Charlize Theron is also known for her cult-favorite spy thriller,Atomic Blonde.

WhenDenise Richards, who playedPierce Brosnan‘s Bond Girl in the 1999 Bond film,The World Is Not Enough,expressed her desire to see a male Bond, owning to the book franchise’s character, the statement did offend a lot of action heroines.
Previously, Barbara Broccoli, the heiress of theJames Bondfilm, also confirmed that James Bond will never be a woman. But again, with potential contenders like,Lashana Lynchand Chris Hemsworth’s personal favorite, Charlize Theron, the narrative certainly deserves to change.
Cinematically, Bond has been a huge influence on the spy genre since the release ofDr. Noin 1962. Since then, twenty-five films have been released, withNo Time To Die(2021) being the last, wherein Daniel Craig played James Bond for the fifth time.
As for the iconic role, if Jodie Whittaker can become the first woman to play Dr. Who, these action heroines certainly deserve a chance to play the world’s greatest spy. Other top contenders in the race for the next James Bond areTom HardyandHenry Cavill.
Daniel Craig’sNo Time To Diecan be rented or purchased on Amazon Instant Video.
