Then again, apart from Roger Moore, none of the Bond actors were stars when cast.
The next Bond will have a mid level amount of public awareness, not a star, not an unknown.

Roger’s quite an interesting case as he was a global TV star thanks to The Saint and The Persuaders, even working with a big film star in the latter and more than proving himself an equal, and so was a kind of film star by proxy even without really being one! :)
They probably ask the people they know if they "know of" the names that are floated. If they hear good things I'm sure they're interested, if they don't know a name and nobody they know knows the name I doubt they dwell very long unless the media craze is is too loud to ignore.
For example, Broccoli's recent comment about Elba vaguely being part of the Bond conversation, likely broadly at some point over the last few years etc. but probably in the manner we mention above; the producers probably talk about it non-seriously, ask around for what potential someone may have if they don't know them, and go from there if they're casting or.. you know... forget about it if they're not.
Thank God.

Not fans on this site.......... He's too old.
You could say that about most Bond actors' side projects! :) When was Dalton's last hit movie?
That's George Lazenby you're thinking of.
What do you mean?
Oh, the 7th quote down in that link posted above, I see.
I like it.
I know Bond films borrow heavily from others, but taking inspiration from Midsomer Murders is a bit much…
Oh no, not more personal stories…
