The hunt for a new James Bond is still going on, and with the project moving forward, the rumors of Timothée Chalamet taking on this role have gained a lot of momentum, along with Sydney Sweeney becoming a Bond girl. While there is no confirmation about this, the hype is continuing on social media platforms, though not everyone seems to be on board with this idea.
Fans think Sydney Sweeney and Timothée Chalamet will star in James Bond
There have been numerous actors tipped to play Agent 007 over the past few years. Now, the studio is reportedly looking for a young actor to take on the iconic role after Daniel Craig.
Speculations of Timothée Chalamet and Sydney Sweeney being cast in the upcoming Bond film started after the Instagram page @sociaty recently shared an AI photo of the two, leading to many reactions. The caption read, “Amazon is reportedly searching for a James Bond actor under 30, with Timothée Chalamet named as a top contender according to US Magazine.”
The caption continued, “Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney is rumored to be the frontrunner for the next Bond girl. If confirmed, she’d join a lineage of actresses like Eva Green and Halle Berry who transformed the Bond girl into a more complex, modern figure.”
Recently, it was confirmed that Dune director Denis Villeneuve has signed on to helm the upcoming franchise. His working relationship with Timothée Chalamet is no big secret. Consequently, the rumors of the A Complete Unknown star taking on the role of James Bond strengthened.
Chalamet also fits the bill, since he is much younger than the other names that came up recently. Moreover, rumors now suggest that Sydney Sweeney is set to appear in this new project as the Bond girl. The Euphoria star recently made headlines with her American Eagle ad.
As per fans, Sweeney playing a Bond girl would make perfect sense. This is because she is one of the most popular actresses right now. The same is true for Timothée Chalamet’s James Bond, especially with Denis Villeneuve directing the project.
Though exciting, these are still rumors, and it will be some time before the next Bond film’s cast is announced.
