James Bond boss teases new 007 actor will be ‘really different’

James Bond producer Amy Pascal has dropped a little more intel on what we can expect from the actor who will replace Daniel Craig in the iconic spy franchise.

And suffice it to say, it sounds like it’s going to be all change.

Since Craig handed in his licence to kill following 2021’s No Time to Die – his fifth outing as the suave MI6 operative – it has become a national pastime to debate who the next actor will be to take on the part, following in the footsteps of Sir Sean Connery, Sir Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan too.

But after nearly five years of rumours and thwarted reports – we all thought we had Aaron Taylor-Johnson confirmed in March 2024 for a second there – we are still in the dark over who the next Bond will be.

However, Pascal – who was confirmed to be taking the reins on the much-loved film series alongside Harry Potter producer David Heyman after Amazon MGM Studios bought full creative control off longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson in February 2025 – has now offered a couple of breadcrumbs.

When asked about an update on the timeline for Bond and any casting announcement, the Spider-Man producer told Deadline: ‘I would say the end of the year is a good bet. We are being really, really methodical.’

With everything having gone so “woke” and virtue-signalling up the wazoo, these days I have about as much interest in who the next Bond will be as I have in the question of who will play the title character in the next Doctor Who series.

Ens**ttification is an actual trend.

Groan is right, it’s often this same group controlling studio output . Their anti pluralist anti western civ agenda. Supersedes profit

” Pascal started her own production company, Pascal Pictures, which made its debut with the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot. In 2017, she produced Spider-Man: Homecoming, Molly's Game and The Post. She has received two Academy Award for Best Picture nominations, for producing The Post and Little Women, and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for producing Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”

James Bond should reflect the reality of Great Britain.

Find some actor named Muhammand Muhammad and he can turn his Beretta and just saw off heads with a dull knife.

I shouldn’t have been so snarky so fast. Check her filography; there’s some solid stuff there, although it’s heavy on Spiderman stuff I will never see. And apparently she was forced out at Sony after hackers released some internal emails making mock of St. Barack the Lightworker’s movie picks.

She apparently tries to make movies that will attract audiences. She’s also 68; I’m not sure I’d put her in charge of what Amazon is hoping will be a five movie run for the new 007.
