Next James Bond: Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi & Harris Dickinson Top Amazon’s 007 Wishlist

Blimey! The search for Daniel Craig’s successor just got interesting. Amazon’s throwing a proper curveball at Bond fans with their shortlist for the next 007, and cor, it’s younger than a fresh-faced Q. According to Variety’s exclusive report, Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson are the front-runners to don the famous tuxedo and none of them have hit the big 3-0.

Amazon’s Youth-Focused Bond Revolution

Remember when we thought Bond needed wrinkles to order a martini? Those days are gone, mate. Amazon’s clearly plotting a major shake-up (not stirred) of the franchise, targeting actors under 30 for their new iteration of Britain’s favourite spy.

As someone who’s covered every Bond announcement since Pierce Brosnan handed in his Walther PPK, I can tell you this is properly revolutionary stuff. It’s like serving Red Bull in an Aston Martin unexpected, but potentially brilliant.

The Contenders: Breaking Down Amazon’s Wishlist

Tom Holland: Your Friendly Neighbourhood Bond?

Fresh from swinging through New York, Holland’s already proven he can rock a suit in “Uncharted”. But can Spider-Man trade his web-shooters for Walter PPKs? The lad’s got charm by the bucketload, and after his turn in “The Crowded Room”, we know he can handle the darker stuff too.

Jacob Elordi: From Euphoria to MI6

Standing at 6’5″, Elordi would be the tallest Bond ever (sorry, Daniel). After terrorising teens in “Euphoria” and charming the pants off everyone in “Saltburn”, he’s got that sinister edge Bond needs. Plus, those cheekbones could cut glass very Q Branch approved.

Harris Dickinson: The Dark Horse

If you’ve seen “Beach Rats” or “Triangle of Sadness”, you’ll know Dickinson’s got serious acting chops. He’s the most “British” of the bunch (actually being British helps), and has that perfect mix of posh and peril about him.

FAQ: Your Bond Questions Answered

When will Amazon announce the new James Bond?

No official meetings have taken place yet, and Amazon’s keeping schtum. But industry insiders reckon we might hear something concrete by late 2025.

Will this be a complete reboot of the franchise?

Sources suggest Amazon’s planning a fresh take on 007, possibly showing Bond’s earlier years in MI6. Think “Casino Royale” energy, but with TikTok.

What about the other rumoured candidates?

While Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Henry Cavill were previous favourites, Amazon seems set on this younger direction. Sorry, Idris Elba fans looks like that ship has sailed.

The Bottom Line

Listen up, Bond fanatics times they are a-changing. Whether you’re chuffed or horrified at the prospect of a twenty-something 007, Amazon’s clearly ready to give Bond his biggest makeover since Daniel Craig first squeezed into those blue swimming trunks.

The question isn’t just who’ll be ordering the next vodka martini, but whether loyal fans will stomach such a youthful take on their beloved spy. One thing’s certain this isn’t your granddad’s James Bond anymore.

Share your thoughts below! Are you team Holland, backing Elordi, or betting on Dickinson? Or should we send this young Bond idea back to Q Branch for more development?
