Who will be the new James Bond? This question has been the subject of much discussion since Daniel Craig’s farewell performance in 2021. For 15 years, Craig embodied the notorious role of “007”, he was in five films during this time, the role is considered the highlight of his career. And not without reason: the role of the Bond actor is one of the most prestigious tasks in the film business, and it is correspondingly coveted.

In the meantime, a few names have emerged that are always in the room as potential successors to Craig. In addition to notorious Hollywood stars and action heroes, there are also a striking number of newcomers and Netflix actors among the potential candidates. And the Turkish Instagram artist Alper Yesiltas brought this to life in a deceptively real way as James Bond with the help of artificial intelligence.
From Regé-Jean Page to Tom Hardy
Also present: Netflix actors like Lucien Laviscount from “Emily in Paris”, “Bridgerton” star Regé-Jean Page and Henry Golding from “Crazy Rich Asians”. Of course, real action legends should not be missing either. Superman Henry Cavill, “Kick-Ass” actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson and “Venom” star Tom Hardy are also in attendance – to name a few.
The artist uses various software programs for his adaptations, including the AI photo app “Remini” and editing programs such as “Lightroom” or “VSCO”. Speaking to the star, he says: “The most important thing is that the image I edit looks realistic to me. The time I spend on a single image varies, but I would say it takes a while.” And the passion, time and work that Yesiltas puts into his projects seem to be paying off.
