As Amazon prepares to usher in a new era for the iconic “James Bond” franchise, three emerging actors—Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson—are reportedly leading the contenders’ list for the coveted role of 007.
Two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón has confirmed he’s in discussions to direct the next instalment in the “James Bond” franchise, now under Amazon’s wing. The streaming giant acquired MGM and the Bond rights in 2021, signaling a new era for the iconic spy series.
Daniel Craig has expressed his admiration for producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli following the announcement that they have handed over creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon MGM Studios.
Craig, who played Bond in iconic films like “Casino Royale” and “No Time to Die”, has previously stated that he is indifferent about who takes up the mantle.
The audience probably won’t find Jenna Ortega donning a tuxedo and sipping martinis in a future “James Bond” film. The star of “Beetlejuice 2” is advocating for women to have their own uniquely crafted action roles, rather than stepping into ones originally designed for male characters.
Pierce Brosnan, the former James Bond star, expressed that fellow Irishman and Oscar nominee Cillian Murphy would be "magnificent" as 007.
Director Martin Campbell of "Casino Royale" stated that Henry Cavill auditioned for the role of James Bond and would have been an excellent candidate if the position had not gone to Daniel Craig.
Dwayne Johnson expressed interest in being the next James Bond.
The next installment in the James Bond franchise has set a release date of November 8, 2019.
Producers of the new James Bond film “Spectre” have announced their latest Bond girl - Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman.
