As a diehard Bond fan, I’m thrilled to share that James Nelson-Joyce has become a strong contender for the next 007! His chances have significantly increased after he expressed his desire to don the tuxedo and take on the iconic role of James Bond. If Amazon decides to reboot the franchise, I can’t wait to see what shape it will take with him in the driver’s seat!
The well-known actor, known for his roles in productions such as The Outlaws, Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, Black Mirror, A Thousand Blows, and This City is Ours, is now competing against several popular choices like Theo James from The Gentlemen, former Superman Henry Cavill, Aaron Taylor-Johnson of Kraven the Hunter, Jack Lowden from Slow Horses, and Harris Dickinson in The Iron Claw (according to Coral). Nelson-Joyce’s odds of landing this highly sought-after role have significantly increased after he expressed his interest following Daniel Craig’s departure. Recently, he told BBC Radio Merseyside, “I mean… double-O Scouse, I’m here for it.
It’s uncertain if James Nelson-Joyce will ever wear the classic tuxedo as the new James Bond due to speculations that Amazon aims to cast a younger actor than previously rumored. As a 36-year-old, this role would be unlike anything he’s done before, given his past work primarily consists of portraying villains, such as in his recent role as crime boss Michael Kavanagh on BBC’s crime saga “This City is Ours.” Nevertheless, his talent is indisputable. Fingers crossed that despite the unlikely fit for Bond, there’s a part for Nelson-Joyce in the next installment of this popular action series.
Who Else Is in Line for the Role of the Rebooted 007?
As we wait for formal announcements about Amazon’s plans for the James Bond franchise, there have been significant whispers suggesting a shift towards lighter storylines with witty banter and gadgetry, distancing from Daniel Craig’s more somber portrayal of Bond. Additionally, speculations point to a relatively younger actor being chosen for the role. Consequently, several potential contenders have surfaced for the coveted position of James Bond, including Tom Holland, known for his role as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; Leo Woodall from The White Lotus, Citadel, and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy; Connor Swindell, star of Barbie and SAS Rogue Heroes; Hero Fiennes Tiffin from The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare; Kit Connor, lead actor in Heartstopper; Paul Mescal, the main character in Gladiator II; and Jacob Elordi, famous for his roles in Euphoria and Saltburn.
It appears that a filmmaker who has won multiple Oscars could potentially direct the upcoming James Bond reboot. During a recent interview at the Paris Cinema Club, director Alfonso Cuarón hinted at his interest in taking on the project. Known for winning numerous Academy Awards for films like “Gravity” and “Roma”, he mentioned that there is a project under discussion, and if it comes to fruition, he would like to put his own spin on the Bond story.
