James Bond contender Harris Dickinson addresses 007 speculation
Briefly

At the Cannes Film Festival, Harris Dickinson responded to speculation about becoming the next James Bond by endorsing Jonathan Bailey as the ideal candidate. The 28-year-old actor recently rose to fame in 'Baby Girl,' alongside Nicole Kidman. Following Daniel Craig's final performance as Bond, the franchise's future has been unclear, especially after the $1 billion sale to Amazon. Producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman are set to lead the next installment, with previous Bond actor Pierce Brosnan expressing hopes for the new team's respectful handling of the character.
“I hope that [Amazon] handles the work and the character with dignity and imagination and respect.” said Brosnan, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the franchise's integrity.
Dickinson humorously noted that Jonathan Bailey should be the first choice for Bond, showing his approach to the ongoing speculation about his own candidacy for the iconic role.
