Are you under the impression that this actor, 7th on the cast list, is making the casting decisions for the next Bond film?
No. I'm under the impression that these kinds of statements are trial balloons that have, most recently, ultimately come to pass as studios have universally attempted to go further and further into social justice and "equity and diversity" moves. Most studios have actually released their mission statements on this very issue which have been linked here, so I'm not sure why this is even a debate.
They are 100% more interested at this point (now and moving forward) with checking what they see as "diversity" boxes than they are with entertaining. As such, the fact that an actor in this series in speculating for his desire to see a gay Bond is entirely plausible given the trajectory of the industry.

Then you are dumb and believe in conspiracy theories. It's a gay actor saying he'd like a gay actor to play James Bond in an interview with a UK gay magazine (which I'm sure zero of you did the research to find out). It's not a trial balloon by the studio.
