007: New James Bond Actor’s Gender & Nationality Confirmed

Amazon MGM Studios has reportedly circulated an internal notice regarding potential changes in the gender and nationality of the next James Bond actor, following fan discussions about the studio’s possible plans for the franchise. This development occurs after Amazon MGM Studios recently secured creative control over the legendary 007 series through a fresh joint venture agreement with James Bond co-owners Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

What do we know about the next James Bond actor?

Based on an internal memo, Amazon MGM Studios intends to keep the gender and nationality of the legendary spy, James Bond, unchanged. Contrary to some speculations on social media, it’s rumored that the upcoming James Bond actor will still be either British or from a Commonwealth nation. The studio is said to be dedicated to preserving the essence of Bond.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for updates about the next James Bond flick. The identity of the lucky guy stepping into 007’s tuxedo is still under wraps, with names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Richard Madden, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, and Henry Cavill being tossed around online. Meanwhile, it’s creating quite a buzz that Christopher Nolan, the Oscar-winning director, might be Amazon MGM Studios’ top pick to direct this upcoming Bond adventure!

Under the recent partnership agreement, “Amazon Studios is set to manage the rights for the James Bond series.” Previously known producers Wilson and Broccoli will continue to hold co-ownership of the franchise. Earlier, Amazon obtained these rights when it merged with MGM in 2021.

In a statement made after their partnership with Amazon MGM was announced, Wilson expressed that with his 007 career lasting almost 60 years, he’s choosing to shift focus towards art and philanthropic endeavors. He further stated that he and his partner, Barbara, believe it’s time for Amazon MGM Studios to guide James Bond into the future.
