Fans spot huge clue that British TV star has signed as the next James Bond

Speculation about the next James Bond has reached new heights after fans spotted a potential clue in ITV&new drama Playing Nice. James Norton, known for his roles in Happy Valley and Grantchester, is a frontrunner for the coveted role, with odds currently at 4/1. Benedict and Hannah Townsend, hosts of the Talk of the Townsends podcast, shared their theory on TikTok. They observed that in a gala scene from Playing Nice, Norton’s character, Pete Riley, wore a plain suit while every other male attendee donned a tuxedo. This detail caught their attention because Bond actors are reportedly barred from wearing tuxedos in other media during their tenure as 007. Benedict explained, “It’s only after you’ve signed the contract that you can wear a tux again. Daniel Craig avoided tuxedos in films while he was Bond.” Hannah added, “It could be a wardrobe choice, but maybe it’s a sign James Norton has already signed on as Bond.” Despite previously dismissing the rumors, Norton’s name remains in the mix alongside contenders like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Tom Hardy, and Theo James. Fans flooded the Townsends’ video with support, calling Norton an excellent choice for the role. Could this subtle wardrobe choice be a sign? While nothing is confirmed, excitement around James Norton potentially taking on the iconic role continues to grow.
