Amazon is giving a quick look at how they’re choosing the next James Bond. After acquiring the famous spy series in 2025, Amazon MGM Studios put Denis Villeneuve in charge of directing the next film, taking over from the previous producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.
Steven Knight, the writer behind Peaky Blinders, will be writing the script for the next James Bond film. However, it’s currently unknown who will take over the role of 007 after Daniel Craig’s departure.
Amazon executives recently shared an update on their search for the next James Bond during a presentation at CinemaCon, according to a report in Variety.
Courtenay Valenti, who leads film development at Amazon MGM Studios, acknowledged the widespread anticipation surrounding the casting of the next James Bond. She stated, “I know everyone is eager to find out who will be playing James Bond.”
We’re really excited, but we want to assure you we’re working on this carefully and with a lot of respect. Sharing this next part of the story with you is a dream come true for our team, and we’re taking that responsibility very seriously.

Valenti explained that combining a hugely popular franchise like Bond with a top-notch creative team – including director Denis Villeneuve, producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, executive producer Tanya Lapointe, and screenwriter Steven Knight – promises a film that will live up to the Bond tradition.
“That film is coming, and when the time is right, we’ll have much more to share.”
Ever since Daniel Craig finished his run as James Bond with No Time to Die in 2021, there’s been a lot of talk about who will be the next 007.
Several actors are being considered for the role, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Idris Elba, Jacob Elordi, Louis Partridge, and Callum Turner.
Knight recently shared that he’s having a great time working on the James Bond script, though he’s keeping the details under wraps. He told BBC Radio 4 he’s thoroughly enjoying the process.
These books are fantastic, and I think they deserve much more recognition. The author created a world that feels incredibly real, but also has a dreamlike quality. I especially love his writing style and the way he crafts the dialogue – it’s just excellent.
He explained that he has a very specific vision for how things should proceed, and is collaborating with a highly skilled team. He indicated that the outcome will be revealed in time.
