The HeraldSun website is reporting that Sam Worthington is actually the leading contender to wear the tuxedo of the 00 agent. Back before Daniel Craig was cast in Casino Royal, Sam was among the leading contenders.
The site reports:
"The Australian hunk has become favourite, ahead of Will Smith to replace Daniel Craig as the famed British spy on the big screen."
Will Smith! Wow that is like casting him as Captain America lol.
It also seems that the new Bond girl may be a Slumdog Millionaire:
"Names being touted as his potential love interest as new Bond girls include Britain's Cheryl Cole and Freida Pinto, who starred in Slumdog Millionaire."
Sam is rapidly becoming a common face in Hollywood. I hope he continues his run and with Clash of the Titans appearing in April, his name will surpass more well known actors.
