There’s a lot of talk about who will be the next James Bond, and it sounds like progress is being made on the next film. Recent reports suggest Amazon might be considering a new actor for the lead role, but the filmmakers haven’t confirmed anything yet.
Jacob Elordi rumored to be offered next James Bond role
Rumors are circulating online that Jacob Elordi is being considered to play James Bond in the next film, which Denis Villeneuve is reportedly directing.
As a huge film fan, I was so excited to see Deuxmoi post that Jacob Elordi is potentially the next James Bond! They said the rumor’s been going around for a while, and that Amazon has actually offered him the role, with filming supposedly starting this October. Of course, we haven’t gotten anything official from the producers yet, so it’s still just speculation, but fingers crossed!
With work underway on the next James Bond film, rumors are swirling about who will take over the role from Daniel Craig. Recent reports suggest Jacob Elordi is a leading candidate, and Showbiz411 claims he’s already met with the director, Denis Villeneuve, and producers. However, the studio hasn’t officially confirmed any offers yet.
Several actors are being considered to play the role, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Tom Holland, Harris Dickinson, Scott Rose-Marsh, and Callum Turner. There were rumors that Callum Turner had already been chosen, and both he and Jacob Elordi are currently favored by betting sites. Public opinion online is divided, with some fans strongly supporting Turner and others questioning whether someone tall could convincingly play the part.
If Jacob Elordi is chosen as the next James Bond, he’d be the second Australian to play 007, following George Lazenby. At 28, he would also be the youngest actor ever in the role. Standing at 6’5″, he’d be the tallest Bond on record. Some discussions have focused on whether his height might influence the casting process, as the studio is reportedly looking for a younger lead for the next chapter of the Bond films after No Time to Die.
Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the next James Bond film, the 26th installment, with Steven Knight writing the script. Amazon MGM Studios is aiming to start filming in late 2026 or early 2027, with a planned release in 2028. The studio will have full creative control over the project.
