Finding the next James Bond actor will, unsurprisingly, not be easy. After being cast in the role for 2006's Casino Royale, Daniel Craig's version of the iconic British spy bid farewell to audiences at the end of No Time to Die.

After Daniel Craig made his final bow as James Bond, '007' producer Barbara Broccoli noted the next Bond will not necessarily be white.

While speaking with the Associated Press ahead of the 15th Governors Awards on Sunday, Nov. 17, siblings Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson — who produce the British spy-action franchise and will receive an award at that ceremony — simply said that casting a new Bond is "a big decision."

James Bond 's producers have offered an update on the search for the next 007, confirming more concrete details about the role's criteria. Speculation is high over who will succeed Daniel Craig as the iconic spy since his departure three years ago, though nothing has been confirmed yet.
