It is not yet known which actor will play the iconic role of James Bond in the next film. In June 2025 Amazon MGM Studios announced that French Canadian director Denis Villeneuve will direct the next Bond film. Fans have speculated for years over who will replace Daniel Craig, who played Bond for the last time in No Time to Die (2021). Rumored candidates have included Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Jacob Elordi, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. However, trade publications have reported that Villeneuve would like to cast a relatively unknown British actor in the role.
