Whispers of a New Bond Girl Emerge in London
16 Feb
Summary
- A studio executive was allegedly overheard discussing Bond casting.
- Aimee Lou Wood's name is circulating for a Bond girl role.
- Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film.
Speculation about the next James Bond is intensifying, with a recent rumor originating from a London theater suggesting Aimee Lou Wood might be considered for a Bond girl role. An anonymous tipster reported overhearing a studio executive discussing casting during a play. While this remains unverified gossip, Wood's growing reputation, particularly from her stage performance, makes the rumor noteworthy.
This potential development occurs as the James Bond franchise undergoes a significant transition. Denis Villeneuve is slated to direct Bond 26, following his work on 'Dune: Part Three.' The script is reportedly being developed by Steven Knight, hinting at a more character-focused narrative. Reports also suggest a younger actor may be cast as Bond, possibly exploring an origin story.
Several actors have been linked to the lead role, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Henry Cavill, with a trend towards a younger demographic. Production for Bond 26 is not expected to commence until 2027, with a potential release in 2028, leaving ample time for further rumors and official announcements.
