Amazon MGM announced that the search for Daniel Craig’s successor as James Bond is underway. The studio said it would not comment on specific casting details during the process and would share more news with 007 fans when the time is right. The White House responded to the casting news on social media with an image of Donald Trump in a tuxedo holding a gun, paired with an eyeballs emoji and the slogan “Make America Great Again.” The casting follows the transfer of creative control of the franchise to Amazon MGM after producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli handed it to the Jeff Bezos-founded company. Speculation about the next 007 has included Denis Villeneuve’s reported interest in an unknown actor and rumors involving Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Tom Holland, Harris Dickinson, and Jacob Elordi.
"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."
"Days later, the White House responded to the news on social media with a simple eyeballs emoji in the caption, alongside a black-and-white image of the president in a tuxedo, holding up a gun in one hand while the other is tucked under his right arm. His slogan, "Make America Great Again," is in the bottom-right corner in a gold typeface."
"The casting announcement comes more than a year after long-serving James Bond producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli revealed they were handing creative control of the iconic franchise to the Jeff Bezos-founded company."
"A number of high-profile actors have been rumored to be in contention for the role of 007. At one time, Bullet Train star Aaron Taylor-Johnson was considered the favorite to take over from Craig, with others including Tom Holland, Harris Dickinson and Jacob Elordi in the running."
