Robert Pattinson Replaces Daniel Craig As James Bond In Stunning Concept Design

Dalton Keith isn’t the only person who thinks Robert Pattinson is the right actor to take on the 007 mantle. In fact, Danny Boyle, the original director for what would become Daniel Craig’s farewell, «No Time To Die,» believes Pattinson would be a great Bond. Unfortunately, Boyle, who stepped down in 2018 after creative differences, probably won’t be back to direct if Pattinson wins the part. In 2022, he told Esquire that he doesn’t think the franchise is in his future. Regardless, it would be incredible to see his and Keith’s wishes come true with Pattinson bringing a fresh, different, and unique take to Bond, just as we probably would have gotten if Boyle had been behind the camera. 

Furthermore, there’s a good chance that if offered the part, Pattinson would accept it. In 2012, it was revealed that Pattinson was eyeing the role sometime after «Twilight» had ended.  He spoke with The Sun and expressed his interest in becoming James Bond, but said that he’d want to wait until he was older because «there’d be nothing worse than, like, ‘let’s get a fresh-faced Bond.’ That would be the worst idea in the world. It would be ridiculous to reinvent it as some young posh kid» (via Yahoo). Now, it appears that Pattinson looks the part, thanks to Keith’s impressive artwork, and it would be interesting to see Craig hand over the reigns to him.
