Amazon MGM Studios announced they are now officially on the hunt for the next James Bond. The film and TV studio confirmed last night that the casting search for an actor to fill Daniel Craig\u2019s shoes is \u201cunderway.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe search for the next James Bond is underway,\u201d the studio said in a statement. \u201cWhile we don\u2019t plan to comment on specific details during the casting process, we\u2019re excited to share more news with 007 fans as soon as the time is right.\u201d<\/p>\n
More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Last year, the studio announced that Denis Villeneuve would direct<\/a> the next Bond film, a follow-up to 2021\u2019s No Time to Die<\/em>, Craig\u2019s final outing as the spy. The Dune<\/em> filmmaker will serve as executive producer alongside Tanya Lapointe, while Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce the upcoming project.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a die-hard Bond fan,\u201d Villeneuve said when the announcement was made. \u201cTo me, he\u2019s sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor. Amy, David, and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust.\u201d<\/p>\n The film is being written by Steven Knight, best known as the creator of Peaky Blinders<\/em>. The writer hasn\u2019t teased much about his approach, but he told Radio Times<\/em><\/a> earlier this year, \u201cObviously with Bond, what you\u2019re dealing with is now a character of folklore, really. It\u2019s like Robin Hood or King Arthur, in the context of the culture of this country and beyond. And so you\u2019ve got to treat it with respect.\u201d<\/p>\n A lot of names have been thrown around as a possible next onscreen James Bond. Henry Cavill, Aaron Taylor Johnson, and Idris Elba have all been rumored casting in the past, while Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Callum Turner are among the more recent names discussed in the media. Last year, Holland acknowledged the \u201cspeculation,\u201d<\/a> noting, \u201cWe\u2019ll keep it to a minimum for now.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
