Is Outlander's Sam Heughan the Ultimate Bond? AI Thinks So!

Since the announcement that Daniel Craig would step down as James Bond after No Time To Die, fans have been speculating about his successor for the iconic role.

It was always a given that only a British actor would have the honour of portraying 007, eliminating most Hollywood actors from the competition; however, further details regarding the casting remained undisclosed for some time.

Thanks to producer Barbara Broccoli finally outlining the casting requirements for the role, fans can now determine if their favourite actors are eligible to become the next James Bond.

According to Broccoli, the new Bond will be portrayed by a British actor under 40 years of age and taller than 5 '10"; only two frequently mentioned actors fit this description: Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Heughan. Interestingly, Sam seems to have artificial intelligence on his side.

Unwind Media's AI art generator was fed the description given by Broccoli, and the final image it produced bore a striking resemblance to Sam Heughan, who has always been considered for the iconic spy role.

While some may argue that the picture also resembles Taylor-Johnson, fans contend that Heughan is a more obvious choice. The breakout star of Starz's Outlander not only possesses the ideal physique for the action-packed role but also boasts the perfect height and age to become the next 007.

Taylor-Johnson may be more popular and experienced as an actor, but Heughan appears to hold greater promise for a long-term commitment to the role, and AI can see it!

Of course, all these predictions remain mere speculation, as Broccoli and her team have yet to announce the actors who are actually being considered to follow in the footsteps of Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. However, if they do choose Heughan, it seems that both fans and AI will be on board.
