The Upcoming Film’s Cast Has Already Sparked Rumors
I’m so excited to see what Amazon MGM Studios does with the next Bond film – it’ll be the 26th installment, and the first under their ownership after acquiring the franchise for around $20 million. It’s already got me buzzing that there’s talk of Sydney Sweeney possibly being involved! I’m eagerly waiting to find out who else will be joining the cast.
Last month, while talking about her new movie, Christy, Sydney Sweeney hinted at potentially becoming the next Bond girl. She said she’d be open to the idea, but it would depend on how good the script was.
When asked about the rumors, the actress hesitated for about seven seconds before responding with a playful “I don’t know.” She admitted she’s a big fan of the franchise and is eager to see how it develops, jokingly suggesting she’d rather play James Bond.
It seems actor Tom Hardy’s hopes of becoming the next James Bond are fading. Reports surfaced in September that producers are casting a male actor from the UK for the role, putting an end to rumors that 007 might be reimagined as a female character. The film’s director is also searching for a new leading man to take on the iconic part.
GoldenEye is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
