Tom Holland began his career as a child actor in 2012’s The Impossible and later rose to global fame as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, among other notable roles. Over the years, he has acted in several commercially successful films. It was recently reported that the English actor is among the top contenders to play the next James Bond.
Holland recently reacted to whether he will be a part of the Denis Villeneuve-directed film. Not getting into the details, the actor said:
“We’ll get there one day.”
Here’s what Holland had to say about possibly becoming the next 007 agent.
Tom Holland talks about playing the next James Bond
Tom Holland recently appeared on the YouTube channel of Gordon Ramsay, where he spoke about the speculations regarding him being the next James Bond. He said,
“Listen, there’s speculation at the minute. We’ll keep it to a minimum for now. We’ll get there one day.”
Tom Holland further said,
"Every young British actor, it’s the pinnacle of working in our industry. I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I’ve had.”
In June this year, it was announced that Amazon MGM Studios has roped in Denis Villeneuve to direct the next James Bond film. The film will be written by Steven Knight. The upcoming 007 film has David Heyman and Amy Pascal as its producers, while Tanya Lapointe will serve as an executive producer.
In July, it was also reported that the makers are eyeing to cast Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney. These developments followed Amazon MGM’s takeover of the James Bond franchise from longtime producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. Before this deal, Amazon bought MGM Studios in 2022 for $8.5 billion.
Daniel Craig portrayed James Bond from 2006’s Casino Royale until No Time to Die in 2021, after which he officially stepped away from the role. Since then, the makers have been looking for a young English actor to play the role.
After Denis was announced as the director, he shared an official statement:
"Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come."
