Amazon recently announced that it&#8217;s one step closer to finding the next Agent 007.
“The search for the next James Bond is underway. While we don’t plan to comment on specific details during the casting process, we’re excited to share more news with 007 fans as soon as the time is right,” Amazon MGM Studios said in a statement, per the James Bond X account.

The comments were filled with suggestions.
“The only person playing Bond should be someone you haven&#8217;t heard of, but also someone who has the charm and wit of Pierce Brosnan,” one person <a href="https://x.com/RajeezusBackup/status/2055025794481819728">wrote</a>.
“I would be extremely excited if Amazon wasn’t involved. I think it’s going to be milked for every penny like Disney did to Star Wars. I’m hoping I’m proven wrong. I’m hoping the quality remains high,” another person <a href="https://x.com/ItsMeChalks/status/2055226174045893034">agreed</a>.
Many of the commenters suggested Henry Cavill or Tom Hiddleston. The thread was filled with various names as fans suggested Amazon put out the statement because it was sick of being asked about who would play Bond next.
Former producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli surprised fans in 2025 when they announced they would step back from the James Bond franchise and give creative control to Amazon, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amazon-promises-fresh-exotic-new-chapter-for-james-bond-franchise">reported</a>.
The company purchased MGM for $8.5 billion in 2022 and, in doing so, acquired the rights to distribute all “James Bond” projects. But before now, Wilson and Broccoli had maintained creative control.
The role was last played by Daniel Craig, who retired from the franchise after “No Time To Die” in 2021. There has been a lot of speculation about who would be the next Agent 007, but now, with Amazon leading the charge, anything can happen.
“I think [the next James Bond] will be a man because I don’t think a woman should play James Bond,” Broccoli said in 2021. “I believe in making characters for women and not just having women play men’s roles.”
“I don’t think there are enough great roles for women, and it’s very important to me that we make movies for women about women,” she added. “He should be British, so British can be any [ethnicity or race].”
