Next James Bond? Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, Harris Dickinson top wishlist for Denis Villeneuve's film

As Amazon gears up for a new chapter in the iconic James Bond franchise, three young names are reportedly leading the race to wear the tux. According to a Variety report, Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi and Harris Dickinson are said to be high on the studio's wishlist to play the next 007. Insiders claim the next iteration of Bond will be under 30, signalling a major departure from recent portrayals. No formal meetings have taken place yet, and Amazon has not commented officially on the speculation. File photo of Tom Holland (AP) The casting buzz follows Amazon-MGM's announcement that Denis Villeneuve will direct the next Bond film. The Dune and Arrival filmmaker has reportedly beaten out contenders like Edward Berger (Conclave), Jonathan Nolan (Westworld), Paul King (Paddington) and Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) for the job. Villeneuve, now working on Dune 3, expressed his excitement. 'I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come,' he said in a statement. Earlier speculation had pointed to Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón stepping in, especially given his past work with producer David Heyman. But Cuarón opted out, choosing instead to direct Jane, a dark comedy starring Charlize Theron. Who's who on the 007 shortlist? Tom Holland, 29, best known for his role as Spider-Man, previously pitched a young Bond film to Sony during Spider-Man: Far From Home promotions. 'It didn't really make sense,' Holland admitted in 2022, adding that the Bond estate didn't seem keen on the idea. He's next seen in Nolan's The Odyssey and the fourth Spider-Man film. Harris Dickinson, known for Triangle of Sadness and Babygirl, recently earned praise for his directorial debut, Urchin, at Cannes. Asked in 2023 if he'd consider playing Bond, he replied, 'I mean, listen, man, you'd be a fool to not entertain that role.' Jacob Elordi, the only Australian of the three, may follow in George Lazenby's footsteps. The Euphoria and Priscilla actor is set to appear in Wuthering Heights, alongside Margot Robbie. Speaking last year, he called the Bond rumours 'beautiful,' adding, 'I just like that people maybe want to put me in their movies.' What happens next? The 26th Bond film is still in its early stages, and according to Variety, it won't hit theatres before 2028. Amazon MGM recently gained creative control of the franchise in a deal reportedly worth $1 billion. The upcoming film will be the first since Daniel Craig's swan song No Time to Die, which earned over $774 million worldwide. Earlier this year, Amy Pascal and David Heyman came on board as producers, signalling the franchise's ambitious new direction. All eyes now remain on who will step into one of cinema's most legendary roles.

Topher Grace Reacts to The Waterfront Villain Role Being 'Written' for Him, Says 'Wife Would Understand' How He's a Sociopath

Topher Grace is embracing his dark side in a big way. In a recent TODAY interview, the That '70s Show star shared how Kevin Williamson, the creator of Netflix's new crime drama The Waterfront, wrote the villain role just for him. Grace joked about the moment, saying, 'My wife got it,' when asked how it felt to be asked to play a 'charming sociopath.' In The Waterfront Netflix drama, Grace plays Grady: a wealthy, tech-bro turned poppy-farm drug lord. Kevin Williamson actually wrote the character with Grace in mind. Grace revealed on TODAY: 'The creator Kevin Williamson, who I'm a huge fan, he wrote 'Scream' when I was in High School and 'Dawson's Creek'. He's amazing, and he called me said the most deductive thing you can say to an actor, I wrote this with you in mind. Then you have to do it.' Williamson echoed that sentiment in interviews, praising Grace's 'unexpectedness' and saying: 'Give a funny man a gun and see what he does with it." In Entertainment Weekly, he noted the unpredictable nature of Grace's performance: 'You just never know if he's going to hug you or shoot you.' From Eric Forman to Netflix villain Best known as Eric Forman on That '70s Show, Grace has taken on varied roles since. After sitcoms and romantic comedies, he played Eddie Brock/Venom in Spider‑Man 3 (2007), the serial killer Edwin in Predators (2010), and David Duke in BlacKkKlansman (2018). In The Waterfront, he fully embraced his darker side. Topher Grace shared why he's drawn to villains: 'Bad guys are better. When you are playing a good guy, the audience is kind of your partner in it. You're an avatar for them in that situation. But when you are playing a bad guy, there is no rules.' Grace also talked about the atmosphere on set, sharing that some characters in the series are self-aware of the show they're in. He shared that he personally enjoyed adding humor by constantly complimenting everyone on how good-looking they were, pointing out that it felt unusual to him because he had never done a television drama before. He joked that it was funny how so many problems could exist in one town where everyone looked so attractive.
