Revealed: Daniel Craig’s Bond 25’s theme song to be composed by Ed Sheeran?

Ed Sheeran has managed to garner a huge fan-base for himself in the past eight years as his album peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The singer-songwriter has delivered many memorable songs like ‘Shape Of You’, ‘Perfect’, ‘Photograph’ and many more. According to recent reports, the 28-year-old singer is the first choice for being the composer of the theme track for the upcoming Bond 25. 

The movie is set to release on April 8, 2020 and stars Daniel Craig as the infamous James Bond. It is also being reported that Daniel Craig himself is in Ed Sheeran's favor as the former's young daughter Ella is a big fan of the singer. She also introduced Craig to his music. According to a source, that was quoted by esquire.com, said,

Daniel was introduced to Ed’s music by his daughter Ella. She loves Ed, and Daniel now really likes his stuff too and wants Ed for the theme tune. Daniel is not just the lead actor on the movie but also one of the producers, so he has huge sway over every aspect. There was talk of Adele doing it again as her song was such a major hit, but Ed is under serious consideration. The sticking point is that Ed translates more to a younger generation, while Adele was more across all ages – so there are other artists they’re also looking at.

Adele has already composed Skyfall for the Bond film of the same name in 2012. Sheeran, on the other hand, had revealed back in 2017 that he had a Bond theme track but refused to divulge any details. "I'm not going to say because someone might steal it," he said, "but its good." Bond 25 does not have an official title yet. Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, Bond 25 will be Craig’s final outing as 007.
