Overview
- Elba posted a TikTok-style video standing beside wax figures of former James Bond actors at Madame Tussauds London as the franchise theme played.
- He captioned the clip "Wifey made me do it," indicating the post was a lighthearted tease rather than a casting announcement.
- The video drew wide support from fans who have long backed Elba as a potential successor to Daniel Craig.
- Madame Tussauds recently unveiled Elba’s own wax figure dressed in the outfit he wore to meet King Charles in 2024, and he said he was honored by the recognition.
- Bond 26 remains in development with Denis Villeneuve directing and Steven Knight writing, and producers have not announced a new 007.
