Former James Bond Actor Wants to Play 007 Again in Denis Villeneuve Movie
Dune and Arrival director Denis Villeneuve has been tapped to direct the next James Bond movie for Amazon MGM Studios. This comes after the company obtained full creative control over the 007 franchise through a joint venture deal with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.
What did Pierce Brosnan say about James Bond?
Speaking with Radio Times, via Variety, Pierce Brosnan said he'd be open to returning to the James Bond role should Villeneuve have 'something up his sleeve.'
'I don't think anyone wants to see a craggy, 72-year-old Bond, but if Villeneuve had something up his sleeve, I would look at it in a heartbeat,' he said. 'Why not? It's great entertainment. It could be lots of laughs. Bald caps, prosthetics… who knows?'
Brosnan's version of 007 debuted in 1995's GoldenEye, which was directed by Martin Campbell. He then returned for three sequels — 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies, 1999's The World Is Not Enough, and 2002's Die Another Day — before Daniel Craig then inherited the role in 2006's Casino Royale.
While Villeneuve's James Bond movie will likely cast an all-new James Bond, there's always a chance that Brosnan could cameo in the film or have some sort of minor supporting role. He still appears in movies frequently, as he'll soon be seen playing Ron Ritchie in The Thursday Murder Club, which arrives later this month.
Brosnan also said about Villeneuve's movie, 'I have been listening to the drumbeat of expectation of who's going to be the next James Bond. There are many great candidates out there, and I'm sure they're going to make it a spectacle of delight.'
Amazon MGM Studios' James Bond movie does not yet have a release date, though it will likely still be a few years away, as Villeneuve is currently working on Dune 3.

The best Disney Plus Bundles: How to save over 40%
When it comes to finding the best streaming services for your needs, you have a lot to choose from. The best Disney Plus bundles are designed to satisfy as much as possible under one discounted price. The bundles combine Disney Plus and Hulu, with the option to add-on either ESPN Plus or HBO Max. Taking advantage of the Disney Bundle will save you over 40% compared to subscribing to each service individually, no matter which bundle you choose. If you're considering getting either Disney Plus or Hulu, we recommend signing up for both, since bundle prices start at just $1 a month more than only subscribing to one service. Considering Disney Plus' content gaps when it comes to mature content and sports, bundling multiple services together also provides more to watch for viewers of every age, from animated Pixar films to gritty HBO dramas. Hulu supplements Disney Plus with a mix of network TV series, blockbuster movies, and original award-winning shows geared toward adults. The app has a massive back catalog of past seasons of network shows and also gets new episodes from ongoing ABC and FOX shows the day after they air. Meanwhile, ESPN Plus (soon to be just ESPN) adds select live football, tennis, golf, and basketball events, along with other sports. It's also the UFC streaming home in the US (for now), and subscribers are able to buy exclusive PPV fights through the app. HBO Max rounds out the coverage with critically acclaimed prestige films and TV shows like "The Sopranos," "The Last of Us," and the "Dune" franchise. We know it can sound a bit confusing, but the Disney Plus bundles are some of the best streaming deals on the market, so we're here to help clear up any questions you might have. Keep reading to explore a breakdown of costs, available bundling combinations, instructions on how to sign up, and info on what to do if you already have an existing subscription. Disney Plus/Hulu/HBO Max Bundle with Ads $16.99 $29.97 Save 43% This triple-value bundle gets you ad-supported access to Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max for just $17 a month. That's $13 off the regular combined cost of all three services and provides you with a huge selection of shows and movies to enjoy. View at Disney Plus How much does the Disney Plus Bundle cost? There are six versions of the Disney Plus bundle, ranging in price based on ad-tier and the number of bundled services. The cheapest option is the ad-supported Disney Plus and Hulu bundle, which costs $11 a month. The most expensive combination is the ad-free Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max bundle, which costs $30 a month. Rates most recently increased for Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN Plus, and their respective bundles on October 17, 2024. Our Disney Plus price guide has full details on all Disney Plus plans and associated costs, but here's a breakdown of the current Disney Plus bundle prices: How to sign up for the Disney Plus Bundle If you live in the US, signing up for the Disney Plus Bundle with Hulu and ESPN Plus is as simple as visiting the Disney Plus website and selecting your desired plan. To sign up for the HBO Max version, just visit this website to get started instead. While Disney Plus is available globally, the bundles are confined to the US since Hulu and ESPN Plus are only supported in the US. After entering your email address and payment information, you can activate your account on each service. You can use the same account information across each platform and watch Hulu from the Disney Plus app and website. If you already have a Disney Plus, Hulu, or ESPN Plus account, this will serve as your MyDisney login for all Disney-owned services (unless you wish to sign up under a different email). Select HBO content is also available to watch from the Hulu app. Otherwise, you'll need to sign into the specific app — Hulu, Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, or Max — in order to view its relevant content.

While the Disney bundle does not offer a free trial, there are a few ways that you might be able to try it out for free. Though Verizon previously offered free access to the Disney Bundle with its 5G Play More Unlimited and 5G Get More Unlimited phone plans, this promotion is no longer active for new members. However, you can get a reduced rate on the ad-supported Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus bundle with Verizon Unlimited plans. This will cost $10/month instead of the standard $17/month. The DirecTV MyEntertainment genre pack includes ad-supported Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max. This month-to-month live TV streaming package, which costs $35/month and carries 50+ live entertainment and lifestyle channels, comes with a five-day free trial for new customers. Ad-supported Disney Plus is available through DirecTV's MyKids pack, which costs $20/month, offers 10+ family-friendly channels, and also includes a five-day free trial. The Hulu, Disney Plus, and ESPN Plus bundle is included in all Hulu + Live TV subscriptions (which we dig into below). This live TV package sometimes offers a free trial for its ad-supported tier, which means you can access all services for free for the duration of the trial. However, this free trial typically only lasts for three days before the subscription renews at the then-current monthly rate, unless you cancel before then. Can current subscribers upgrade to the Disney Bundle? Yes, current Disney Plus, Hulu, or ESPN Plus subscribers can upgrade any of their existing subscriptions to the bundle. You just need to sign up for the Disney Plus Bundle using the same email address on file for your current membership. You can also log into your existing account and explore other plan options, and make the switch from there. Disney will then adjust the bundle cost to account for your existing subscription fees. Though current HBO Max subscribers can upgrade to the bundle to get Disney Plus and Hulu included, remember that the HBO Max Ultimate Ad-Free plan is not included. That means current Ultimate members will see a downgrade in streaming quality if they choose to bundle, as only HD 1080p is available. To stream HBO Max in 4K UHD, you'll need to stick with the Ultimate Ad-Free plan, which isn't available as a bundle with another streaming service. Remember, however, that members who have existing subscriptions through special promotions — like Spotify's Student Plan with Hulu — are not eligible for an upgrade to the bundle. They'll need to cancel their subscription or sign up for the bundles separately with another account. Can you subscribe to Disney Plus bundles annually? One of our favorite ways to save on streaming services is by subscribing annually, which usually saves subscribers money each year compared to paying for 12 months on a month-to-month plan. However, none of the Disney Plus bundles offer annual options right now. You can subscribe to the Disney Plus ad-free tier annually for $160/year (a little over $31 in savings compared to paying month-to-month for a year), the Hulu ad-supported tier annually for $100/year (a little less than $20 in savings compared to month-to-month), or ESPN Plus annually for $120/year (a little over $23 in savings compared to month-to-month). Max also offers annual plans on all tiers of service, ranging from $100 to $210 a year. Can I watch Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN Plus, or HBO Max content in the same app? Disney Plus allows you to watch select programming from Hulu and/or ESPN Plus on Disney Plus if you're subscribed to either of the streaming services. The Hulu option became available in December 2023 (and officially rolled out in 2024), and the ESPN Plus option became available in December 2024. You must subscribe through the bundle or trio plans or link your stand-alone accounts. Select Hulu and ESPN Plus programming is also available to watch on Disney Plus without a Hulu subscription. Once you log in, you can navigate to the ESPN Plus and Hulu content by clicking on the applicable tiles on the Disney Plus homepage. The tiles are right next to the Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar options, so it's easy to navigate. Disney Plus/Hulu/HBO Max Bundle subscribers can watch select HBO content from the Hulu app, but not all. With the HBO Max add-on, select titles like "Euphoria," "House of the Dragon," and "The Last of Us" can be found within the Hulu app. Non-HBO or HBO Max exclusive content, like the Studio Ghibli and Harry Potter libraries, cannot be found in the Hulu app. All four apps remain separate services for now. Will Disney Plus and Hulu become one app? In August 2025, a little less than two months after the Walt Disney Company purchased Comcast's stake in Hulu, Disney announced that it would be phasing out the Hulu app and fully integrating it into Disney Plus for a one-app experience in 2026. Nothing will immediately change, and there's no exact timeline for the change next year (yet), but the two oft-bundled services will eventually be available under a single app. Does Hulu + Live TV include the Disney Bundle? Hulu + Live TV plans come with Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and on-demand Hulu automatically. Hulu + Live TV subscribers don't have to pay extra or adjust any options in order to get the bundle. The service also lets you stream more than 90 live TV channels. Check out our Hulu Live TV channels roundup to see the full lineup. Hulu + Live TV plans cost $83 a month for ad-supported on-demand streaming or $96 a month for ad-free on-demand streaming. The ad-free options extend to Hulu and Disney Plus, but Hulu + Live TV and ESPN Plus will always have ads due to the nature of live TV. This is the only bundle automatically included with Hulu + Live TV, and there's no option to swap ESPN Plus for HBO Max. Instead, you'd need to get an additional subscription to HBO Max, which will cost extra. To sign up for the Disney bundle with Hulu + Live TV, visit the Hulu + Live TV page.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Address Breakup Rumors With One Photo
THE RUNDOWN Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been spending some time apart as he films Dune: Part Three in Hungary. After the actor missed Jenner's 28th birthday celebration earlier this month, some fans wondered whether they had quietly broken up. A source assured Us Weekly yesterday that they are 'still together,' and the couple was spotted in Budapest, Hungary, today after Jenner made the long trip to see her partner. Coffee shop Budapest Baristas shared a photo of Chalamet and Jenner posing with two employees there. 'Today Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet just walked in to our coffee shop at Buda. We were so in confusion, we could [barely] concentrate, but I think you can see [it] on our face🙈,' they wrote. 'Thank God, everyone look at them, not us 😄 They were super nice and kind. Thank you for coming @kyliejenner @tchalamet ❤️' The pair has spent a good part of their two-year relationship long-distance as Jenner is based in Los Angeles with her and ex Travis Scott's two children, and Chalamet has been busy filming projects on the East Coast and abroad. Over the weekend, a source told People that the two stars were putting in the work to keep their bond strong despite being in different parts of the world. The outlet added that Chalamet will soon move to Jordan and Abu Dhabi to continue shooting Dune. 'They haven't seen each other for a few weeks only because Timothée's been filming Dune in a studio in Budapest, and Kylie's been working too,' the source said. 'She visited him in July.' 'But even though Kylie has a private jet, the flight is still 12 hours,' the insider noted. 'She's a mom, and she works as well. She has a lot of responsibilities in L.A. Timothée's schedule is grueling, with very little downtime.' 'They're making it work though,' the source said. 'They FaceTime most days. They miss each other and are totally fine.' Jenner seemed to signal that herself last week when she liked one of Chalamet's new Instagram posts.
