The hunt for the next James Bond has officially kicked off.
Amazon MGM Studios started auditioning actors for the part of 007 in the past few weeks, Variety has learned, with the studio enlisting the help of Nina Gold to find the man with the suaveness and danger necessary to replace Daniel Craig as Ian Fleming’s super-spy.
“The search for the next James Bond is underway,” Amazon MGM Studios said in a statement. “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.”
Gold did not respond to a request for comment, but a source with knowledge of the production confirmed her involvement. Her enlistment in the 26th James Bond makes sense. Gold understands the complexities of big franchises and is best known for filling out the world of Westeros on HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
Her credits include the Netflix series “The Crown,” as well as five films in the Star Wars franchise. The latter gig saw her cast Daisy Ridley as Rey in “The Force Awakens.” Gold’s credits also include “Les Misérables,” “The Martian” and “Conclave.” She was nominated for an Oscar for her work on “Hamnet” in 2025 — the first year that the Academy had an award for casting.

The name of the love interest in the new James Bond...Sausage Galore?
Oh heavens!
Does anyone still believe that Great Britain’s MI6 is a significant intelligence presence in today’s world? RIP JB.
“to find the man with the suaveness and danger necessary to replace Daniel Craig as Ian Fleming’s super-spy.”
Well that describes me of course.
But I’m busy, my garden needs cleaning up.
Yeah, it was created when they were going to do another James Bond movie starring a female as JB.
My money’s on Elliot Page. The ultimate Bond!
It's set in concrete.
That’s pitiful to say the least...
That’s Hollyweird for you...LOL
It will be a black lesbian, transgender, and bi, who hates the UK and all it stands for. The villain will be President Trump. /s
I thought Idris Elba had already signed on. What happened to him?
“Already been preordained to be a negro lesbian, right?”
Nope, gotta be a tranny because in that outpoints all other parameters.
The bald chick from Wicked. Bet.

Nope. I am done. Bond died.
None of what follows is the canon James Bond character.
