Spider-Man star Tom Holland has finally responded to claims he's in the running to be the next James Bond, and his comments are as coy as you'd expect. The 29-year-old is rumoured to be one of Amazon MGM's favourites for the iconic spy, alongside Jacob Elordi and Harris Dickinson. When chatting to Gordon Ramsay as part of his Scrambled series, the chef couldn't resist asking him about all the whispers he is set to become the next 007. Spider-Man star Tom Holland has finally responded to claims he's in the running to be the next James Bond, and his comments are as coy as you'd expect. Pic:Holland simply replied: 'Listen, there's speculation at the moment. We'll keep it to a minimum for now. We'll get there one day.' When pushed a little on the topic, he continued: 'Dude, I mean every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry. 'I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could not have dreamed to have the career that I have.' The next instalment of the James Bond franchise will be directed by Dune's Denis Villeneuve (who has worked with Tom's fiancée Zendaya) and it was recently announced that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight will be penning the script. Holland is seen as a favourite for the role by many due to his connection to another member of the team, as Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal is co-producing the next 007 film. However, Aaron Taylor Johnson is still the bookies' favourite for the role, with Mr Dua Lipa, Callum Turner, joint second with The Gentleman star Theo James.

Netflix confirms The Gentlemen season two as Maya Jama set to join star studded cast
Netflix has announced that a second season of Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen will be coming soon wit the Love Island presenter set to make her debut in the show. Netflix has confirmed that The Gentlemen is returning for a second season with a number of new famous faces being added to the star studded cast, including Love Island presenter Maya Jama. The Guy Ritchie drama, branded a mashup between Downton Abbey and Peaky Blinders, is based on the director's 2019 film of the same name. The first season became one of the streaming platform's biggest hits when it dropped in 2024 with Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Ray Winstone playing the lead roles. The Gentleman sees James and Scodelario play Eddie Halstead and Susie Glass, who are thrust together after James inherits land that's been co-opted by a weed growing empire ran by Susie's father, Bobby Glass, played by Winstone. Susie is the de facto head of the business while Bobby is in prison. Netflix has confirmed that James, Scodelario and Daniel Ings will all be returning to their roles for the highly anticipated second season. They will be returning alongside cast members Winstone, Vinnie Jones, Jasmine Blackborow, Michael Vu, Harry Goodwins, Ruby Sear, Pearce Quigley and Giancarlo Esposito. Meanwhile, Maya Jama is set to be the latest addition to the star studded cast. The Love Island presenter made her acting debut in Katherine Ryan's Netflix series The Duchess, playing a girl-next door role named Sandra for two episodes. The Gentlemen is understood to be her second acting role although details about her character in the show are yet to be revealed. Jama, 30, rose to fame as a DJ on Rinse Fm and a presenter on MTV. She then went on to front award shows and in 2023, she landed the presenting role on ITV'S Love Island. Also joining the cast for season two will be The Agency star Hugh Bonneville, Dune's Benjamin Clementine, The Leopard's Benedetta Porcaroli, Conclave's Sergio Castellito, Another Simple Favour's Michele Morrone, Tell Me Everything's Tyler Conti and Dune: Part Two's Amra Mallassi. During the last season, Eddie and Susie's undeniable chemistry was noted by fans, with many enjoying the intense aspect of their relationship. Other fans recalled a flashback scene in which the pair are seen dancing with their faces extremely close to one another, with many believing Ritchie was subtly hinting at a romantic history between them. Season two will pick up one year after Eddie and Susan joined forces to team up on Bobby's criminal empire overseas. As they strive to expand their enterprise, the choices Bobby is making seem to be increasingly unsound, and Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all. Guy Ritchie announced the news of the forthcoming season in a statement which read: 'I am delighted to return to set for season two of The Gentlemen. This chapter sees a deliberate expansion, both geographically and thematically, as we journey from the English countryside to the Italian lakes.' 'Eddie and Susie find themselves navigating an increasingly volatile empire as they're besieged on all fronts by an influx of enigmatic new players. "The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I'm thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew.'
