James Bond Reboot Rumor Claims Jacob Elordi Has Been “Offered” Role

With rumors swirling that the actor might be the next James Bond, a new frontrunner has appeared for a highly sought-after role in Amazon’s upcoming series. As we await official news about the casting for James Bond 26, speculation and betting odds are currently the only indicators of who will take on the lead in this iconic franchise. And the latest contender is a particularly strong possibility.

I was scrolling through Deuxmoi and saw a rumor that Jacob Elordi, you know, the Frankenstein guy and recent Oscar nominee, is being considered to be the next James Bond! Apparently, they’re aiming to start filming in October 2026, which sounds plausible. But honestly, it’s just a rumor for now – Deuxmoi is full of them. Still, it’s gotten everyone talking, and now bookmakers have him as the frontrunner at 5/4 odds, ahead of other actors like Callum Turner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Theo James. It’s exciting to think about, even if it’s not confirmed yet!

Recent reports from Showbiz 411 suggest that Jacob Elordi has been in discussions with the producers and director Denis Villeneuve about potentially becoming the next James Bond, following Daniel Craig. This comes as Elordi’s career is quickly gaining momentum thanks to his roles in the popular HBO series Euphoria, an Oscar nomination for Guillermo Del Toro’s Poor Things (previously referred to as Frankenstein), and the recent release of the romantic drama Wuthering Heights. These successes have positioned him as a frontrunner for the 007 role.
