James Bond boss teases new 007 actor will be ‘really different’
Metro ^ | August 6, 2026 | Tori Brazier

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 every movie now looking like a cultural milkshake, there has been only one series that I didnt seem to mind it at all. And that was the Fast and Furious Saga... all the rest of them, they tried too hard...

No can do.

Then no can watch.

This is how you ruin a franchise and lose huge amounts of money for your film studio.

I don’t fault her
We are all what we are and how raised
I am sure am
Other than why the studios throw away cash

That woman who ran Disney content in the ground with her tranny kids and she wasn’t urban Jewish btw

The old bosses regardless personal politics wanted to make films that celebrated America and pleased the audiences

Of course they came up hard and earned it from lower east side tenements and appreciated the opportunity given
Ms Pascal who knows

This crap of ironic beat up America movies started late 60s

First ham fisted lefty flick I recall was Joe with Peter Boyle

I was like WTH

This Pascal lady doesn’t give much faith given her track record

Loud angry women and of course homosexual activists also seem to have high chairs and the green light and editorializing content table now

It’s like the WNBA is making movies

I suspect it’s going to be a British Asian dude. Someone with perhaps a Hindu background with many Bollywood acting credits.

In the 2003 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film, they cast an Asian Indian to play Captain Nemo. So it would not surprise me if they did the same here with James Bond.

The United Kingdom has long ago been taken over by DEI insanity. What it means to be “British” is now meaningless.

I’m guessing Zendaya...seems to be in everything else these days…

Yeah very over-exposed …. Way over her talent level. I am sure I’m not the only one who has had their fill of Zendaya.

The last Bond flick is the first one I’ve not seen since I started watching way back in the day.
