Contender for the upcoming James Bond role yet to be announced.
In an exciting turn of events, three young British actors - Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson - have emerged as the current frontrunners to take on the iconic role of James Bond in the upcoming film.
According to reports, Amazon, along with producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, are on the hunt for a new 007, and they're looking for a British actor under 30 to fill the shoes left by Daniel Craig.
Denis Villeneuve, the acclaimed director of "Dune", has been announced to direct the next Bond film, while Steven Knight, the creator of "Peaky Blinders", will pen the script. The creative control of the "James Bond" film franchise has been handed over to Amazon MGM Studios.
Tom Holland, best known for his role as Spider-Man, has been a favourite for the role, with rumours circulating for quite some time. The actor, who is 29 like his fellow contenders, recently appeared on Gordon Ramsay's show, where the celebrity chef asked him about the possibility of playing Bond. Holland responded that it would be the pinnacle of work in their industry.
Harris Dickinson, with his age and recent acclaimed film roles, is seen as an exciting option for the role. His youth and freshness could bring a new dynamic to the classic character. Jacob Elordi also remains a strong contender due to his age and rising profile.
Although the identity of the actor who will succeed Daniel Craig as the spy in Her Majesty's Secret Service is still unknown, these three actors have been strongly considered by Amazon MGM Studios as top candidates for the next 007.
Other British actors who have been favoured by fans and mentioned in industry speculation include Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Josh O'Connor, Regé-Jean Page, Henry Cavill, Joe Alwyn, Paul Mescal, and Richard Madden. However, the specific Amazon shortlist seems to focus more on the younger trio of Holland, Elordi, and Dickinson.
Tom Holland, despite downplaying the rumours, acknowledged the role as highly coveted and "the pinnacle" for a British actor. The final decision is yet to be made, but one thing is certain - the next James Bond is poised to be a fresh and exciting addition to the franchise.
