We will once again order a shaken, not stirred Martini, in a movie theater amidst explosions, flings, Aston Martins, and tuxedos. Or in other words: James Bond will definitely return to the big screen, although we still don’t even know who will don his tailored suit. For now, the casting has officially begun and the cream of British actors will pass in front of the camera to try to land the most coveted role of all.
My name is Bond, James Bond
Replacing Daniel Craig, especially after the end of No Time to Die, is an impossible mission, but they have already started, as announced by Amazon itself: “The search for the next James Bond has already begun. While we do not plan to comment on specific details of the casting process, we are excited to share more news with 007 fans when the time is right.”
And who will be the person in charge of carrying out this process and finding the next actor who will mark their arrival with golden letters in the history of cinema? Well, none other than Nina Gold, known not only for Game of Thrones, but also for achieving the perfect cast in The Crown and even five Star Wars movies. In fact, she was one of the first nominees for the Oscar for Best Casting for her work in Hamnet. So, the franchise couldn’t be in better hands.
Although we still don’t know what the new James Bond will look like, we do know that, after paying a fortune for the rights to MGM and the character (separately), they are not going to let success slip away easily, and they have already started developing television series and reality shows based on the character, which will join the new movie saga. In short, six decades later, no one is willing to let James Bond die completely.
