New 007 Report Reveals Favorite for Next James Bond Actor

by

Reports indicate that Denis Villeneuve and Amazon are getting closer to choosing an actor to play James Bond.

Who is the new favorite to play James Bond?

A recent report from Showbiz411 says Jacob Elordi is being considered to play James Bond. He’s reportedly already met with producers and director Denis Villeneuve about the role. With a recent Oscar nomination for his work in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, Elordi is now a strong contender.

Jacob Elordi is being discussed as a possible contender for the next James Bond, along with Callum Turner, who is also a frontrunner according to betting odds. Both actors are considered strong candidates to replace Daniel Craig.

I’m really excited about the next James Bond film! From what I understand, Denis Villeneuve is directing, which is huge. Steven Knight, the guy behind Peaky Blinders, is writing the script, and this will be the first Bond movie made now that Amazon fully owns the franchise. Details are still pretty scarce, but it’s a really interesting new direction for the series.

Amazon and the producers of the James Bond films, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, have partnered to create a new company that will manage the rights to the Bond franchise. While details are still under wraps, the next Bond film will be directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders.

Amazon, Wilson, and Broccoli will continue to jointly own the James Bond series, but Amazon MGM Studios will now be in charge of creative decisions – a role previously held by Wilson and Broccoli. Both Wilson and Broccoli have always been very protective of the Bond franchise, but Wilson has stated he’s moving on to focus on art and charity work, and Broccoli will be pursuing other projects.
