Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed that the search for the next James Bond is officially underway, marking the start of a new casting phase for the iconic spy franchise.
The announcement comes after Daniel Craig retired from the role in 2021’s No Time To Die, where his iteration of 007 concluded in a dramatic farewell that closed out a 15-year run spanning five films.
In a statement shared via the official James Bond account on X, the studio said it would not comment on specific details of the casting process.
“The search for the next James Bond is underway. While we don’t plan to comment on specific details during the casting process, we’re excited to share more news with 007 fans as soon as the time is right.”
No further details on potential candidates or timelines were provided.
Craig first debuted as Bond in Casino Royale (2006), redefining the character for a modern era before concluding his tenure with No Time To Die, which marked a definitive exit for his version of the spy.
