Since he announced his retirement from the role, over a dozen actors have been mentioned as potential successors, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, James Norton, Luke Evans, Richard Madden, Chris Hemsworth, Rege-Jean Page and Aaron Pierre.

Most recently, Holland, Jacob Elordi, Harris Dickinson and Callum Turner have been namedropped in the press.

And, the Spider-Man star says it would be an honour to don the famous tuxedo.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Gordon Ramsay teased Holland about the rumours, saying:

“Ever thought about using the word James with future movies going forward?

“Seriously, can you imagine what's going to happen to your life if you do? You'd love the opportunity, right?”

Holland responded:

“Every young British actor, it’s the pinnacle of working in our industry. I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive, you know? I could never have dreamed to have the career that I’ve had.”

Who is writing the new James Bond?

Deadline reports that Peaky Blinders creator and writer Steven Knight has been approached to write the next Bond movie, which will be the first under the Amazon banner after the corporation bought MGM, eventually pairing with Eon Productions, the company owned by franchise stalwarts Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

In early 2025, Broccoli and Wilson surrendered creative control over the Bond franchise to Amazon for a cool $1 billion.

The project has an acclaimed director in the form of Denis Villeneuve, famous for critical darlings like Arrival, the Dune franchise, Blade Runner 2049, Prisoners and Sicario.
