Ram Charan As Next James Bond? Marvel Creator Thinks Actor Deserves A Shot Post 'RRR' Success

Ram Charan was last seen in RRR, directed by ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who has given major blockbusters in the history of Indian cinema. The film starred Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt along with JR NTR, and Ram Charan in the lead roles.

While many Hollywood filmmakers lauded the film, Marvel creator Luke Cage, who seemed to be impressed with the south Indian star, has expressed that he wishes to see him as the next James Bond in Hollywood.

Much discussions have been going on regarding who will replace Daniel Craig in the cult bond movie. While names of Idris Elba and Rege Jean-Page have popped up among other stars to replace Craig as James Bond, Cheo Hodari Coker thinks India's Ram Charan deserves a chance to play the British spy.

Cheo Hodari Coker, the Marvel creator of Luke Cage, who on his July 27 tweet wrote, "Bond? Idris Elba, Sope Dirisu, Matthew Goode, Damson Idris, and Ram Charan," has once again took to his social media account to share this -

"Damn! That escalated quickly. Everyone knows Idris from, well, everything, but to get inside my thinking, watch Sope in "Gangs Of London," Matthew G in "The Offer", Damson in "Snowfall" and Ram in "RRR". They all deserve a shot at a Savile Row suit and a Walther PPK."

Soon, fans took to Twitter to react to the Marvel creator's post and flooded the comment section with memes and pictures of Ram Charan to vote for their favourite star. Looks like desi fans wish to see Ram Charan taking the baton from Daniel Craig.

Moreover, last week, a fan had claimed that Ram Charan would be a perfect fit for portraying Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

On the other hand, Russo Brothers' who was recently in India for their latest outing The Gray Man said in an interview with Radio Times that Netflix's Bridgerton actor Rege-Jean Page would be an ideal candidate to replace Daniel Craig as 007.

The filmmakers said that he'd make a great James Bond, according to aceshowbiz.com. "He's fantastic. I mean, he has more charisma in his pinky than most people do in their entire body," Joe Russo said.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ram Charan will be next seen in the film Acharya alongside his actor father Chiranjeevi. Kajal Aggarwal also stars in the lead role in the upcoming movie.
