Is Tom Holland the next James Bond? Spider-Man actor addresses rumours
Tom Holland has addressed the swirling rumours suggesting he may be next in line to play James Bond. The 28-year-old British actor, best known for portraying Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been widely named in media reports as a frontrunner to take over the coveted 007 mantle following Daniel Craig's departure in 2021. In a recent YouTube appearance with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, Holland was asked point-blank about the speculation. 'Listen, there's speculation at the moment. We'll keep it to a minimum for now. We'll get there one day,' he responded, acknowledging the rumours without offering confirmation. Holland went on to share his admiration for the role, saying, '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 James Bond franchise is currently being rebooted under Amazon MGM Studios, with Denis Villeneuve (Dune) attached to direct and Peaky Blinders' Steven Knight penning the script. With Villeneuve committed to Dune: Messiah, filming for the Bond reboot isn't expected to begin anytime soon. Producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman are reportedly still weighing casting options, with other names like Jacob Elordi and Harris Dickinson also being tossed into the ring. Meanwhile, Holland isn't slowing down. He's currently filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day — his fourth solo outing as Peter Parker — which is slated for a July 31, 2026 release. The Marvel-Sony co-production recently dropped its first look, building anticipation for what's next in the web-slinger's journey.

‘Freakier Friday' marks Lindsay Lohan's long-awaited big screen return
Lindsay Lohan says she drew upon her own experiences of motherhood for 'Freakier Friday,' the highly-anticipated sequel to her hit 2003 movie 'Freaky Friday.' Lohan, 39, welcomed her first child in 2023, a year before the Disney movie was filmed. 'It felt full circle for me, and also the timing was pretty impeccable considering that I'm a new mom and I was able to bring being a mom into the character,' Lohan said at the film's London premiere on Thursday. 'It's the first time I'm able to do that on screen.' 'Freaky Friday', with a reported budget of $26 million, was a surprise hit, making over $160 million worldwide and obtaining a cult following. The 2025 follow-up sees Lohan and actress Jamie Lee Curtis reprising the roles of mother and daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman. Twenty years on, Anna is a single parent to tomboy teen daughter Harper, played by Julia Butters. Their relationship comes under stress when Anna falls for Eric (Manny Jacinto), the father of Harper's new British classmate Lily (Sophia Hammons), and they decide to get married. The future stepsisters, with a mutual dislike for one another, decide to intervene. While the 2003 film saw a body swap between Tess and Anna, things get 'freakier' this time around with Tess and Anna switching bodies with Lily and Harper. Before signing on to the sequel, Lohan ensured that Anna returned as a multi-faceted and relatable character. 'It was important to me that we explained who Anna is today and how she's evolved and the dynamic between her and her daughter as she's a single working mom. There are some basic points that I wanted to get across because I want people to see the movie and find a piece of it that they can grab onto and be like, 'okay, I get that',' she said. Directed by Nisha Ganatra, the movie also sees actor Chad Michael Murray reprising the role of young Anna's love interest, Jake. Shooting the sequel was a 'lovefest', said Murray. 'It was the same, but better. It felt very much like connective tissue to the first movie. Everyone loved going to work and no one wanted to go home.' 'Freakier Friday' marks Lohan's big screen return. 'It's obviously nerve-wracking because you want it to be great and you want people to love what you do,' she said. 'As long as people are enjoying what I'm doing and it's making them happy, then I feel like I'm doing my job and that's what I'm here to do.' 'Freakier Friday' begins its global cinematic rollout on August 6. Meanwhile, Lohan said she would like to take on some more serious and dramatic roles as she marks her return to the big screen with the body-swap comedy sequel Freakier Friday. Lohan told The Hollywood Reporter at the Los Angeles premiere of Freakier Friday: '(I'm) doing a TV show with Hulu that I'm really excited about and I'd like to take on some more serious, dramatic roles.

Writer and director revealed, but who will play James Bond in Amazon's reboot?
Who will be the seventh James Bond? The question has been inspiring fevered guesswork since Amazon MGM Studios took full control of the franchise. In June, it was announced that Canadian director Denis Villeneuve will be helming the next film in the series. After the announcement, Villeneuve said: 'Some of my earliest moviegoing memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr No with Sean Connery. I'm a diehard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory.' On Thursday, it was also announced that Steven Knight would be writing the film. Knight is the creator of the popular British television series Peaky Blinders. He also wrote the screenplays for Eastern Promises and Locke. Knight told BBC after the announcement: 'It has always been on my bucket list and it's fantastic to be invited to do it – I can't wait to get started. 'I'm hoping that, being a Bond fan for so many years, it will be imbued into me and I will be able to produce something that's the same but different, and better, stronger and bolder.' Amazon gained creative control over the James Bond franchise following an agreement long-time James Bond producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The duo said they wanted to step back from the franchise to focus on other projects. In February, Bezos posted about it on X. 'Who'd you pick as the next Bond?' The Amazon founder wrote. A flurry of comments immediately followed, showing the debate for the next Bond is as galvanised as ever. Henry Cavill's name was a popular comment on Bezos's post, along with Sam Heughan and Tom Hardy. Here we round-up 11 actors who could take on the role of cinema's most enduring spy. Tom Holland While the English actor, most famous for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, may not seem an obvious fit for Bond, Variety reports that he's one of the names on Amazon's shortlist. Holland addressed the rumours on Thursday, telling Gordon Ramsay: 'Listen, there's speculation at the minute. We'll keep it to a minimum for now.' Jacob Elordi The Australian, 27, is also one of the names on Amazon's wish list and, given his ascent in recent years, it should come as no surprise. He has grappled with a lot in his rise to superstardom. He rocketed to fame in 2018 Netflix hit The Kissing Booth, following that a year later with the phenomenal HBO series Euphoria. By the time Saltburn hit Amazon Prime Video in 2023, he was seemingly all anyone could talk about. But he's got perhaps his greatest acclaim on his 2025 series Narrow Road to the Deep North. 'You feel like an impostor,' Elordi told The Nationa l. 'You're met with this public idea of who you are, and it's never going to reflect who you actually are. 'Playing this role taught me that it's better to talk about it than bury it down for the entirety of your life.' Harris Dickinson The English actor is another name on Amazon's list, and may perhaps be the most versatile actor rumoured for the part. His roles in The Iron Claw, Triangle of Sadness and Baby Girl have displayed his ability to pull of both absurdist comedy and complex drama. He will also be playing John Lennon in the upcoming Beatles biopic series, one of the most coveted roles in Hollywood. Aaron Taylor-Johnson Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been touted as a forerunner for a role for the past year. He has been a big screen favourite for the past few years, appearing in blockbusters, such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and Bullet Train. He also recently starred in The Fall Guy, Nosferatu and Kraven the Hunter. Rege-Jean Page Although the British-Zimbabwean actor, 37, cut his teeth in theatre, his turn as the Duke of Hastings in Netflix's Bridgerton caught the world's attention. Page shot to the top of many Bond wish lists, and appeared opposite Chris Pine in the 2023 Dungeons & Dragons film. Tom Hardy Long considered the front-runner as Craig's successor, as time goes on, it looks less likely the actor will make the cut, and not only because of his age. According to IMDb, Hardy, 47, has at least five projects in the pipeline, including a Mad Max title, making him a pretty busy guy. Sam Heughan The Outlander star, 44, appeared in the action thriller, Sas: Red Notice, in which he plays a member of the British special forces. With a legion of female fans, the 6'2 actor has already showed off his 007-ish chops in The Spy Who Dumped Me, plus, that Scottish accent has shades of a certain Sean Connery. He says: 'I think it's an incredible franchise and a great character, so of course I would jump at it'. Dev Patel The Oscar-nominated star broke out in the controversial UK TV show Skins and has since become a Hollywood favourite. At 34, he would be on the young side to play Bond, however, the younger the actor, the more films they can do. The actor has, however, expressed reservations about being a 'tokenistic' Bond. He says: 'If it works for the story, and I feel like I can bring some truth out of this role or embody it well, then that's what it should come down to.' Tom Bateman Currently better known as Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley's other half, Bateman fully stepped into the spotlight with is role in Death on the Nile. His turn as the suave Dr David Ferguson in Netflix's Behind Her Eyes opened fans' eyes to the possibility of him becoming Bond, plus he has a twin brother called Merlin who could serve as an instant body double. He says: 'I don't think there's an actor alive who would say no that role.' Henry Cavill The Superman actor is an internet favourite for the role. Cavill has been vocal about how much he would love taking up the Bond mantle. He auditioned for the part when it went to Craig, revealing that Casino Royale director Martin Campbell told him, 'Looking a little chubby there, Henry,' during a scene in which he wore only a towel. Following the pattern of past Bonds, it is likely that Amazon MGM Studios will look to produce a series of films with the same actor. Aged 41, Cavill may be considered to old to take on the role, although Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan were all aged 41 or older when they took on their first Bond role, and Moore was 57 when he retired his spy tux. Charlie Hunnam Another stalwart on the list alongside Hardy, the Sons of Anarchy actor's name remains attached to the role despite his insistence he's not that interested. His turn in Guy Ritchie 's gangster flick The Gentlemen allowed him to show off the cool-under-pressure British vibes the role of 007 requires. He says: 'I'm an enormous Tom Hardy fan, so I would love to see him as James Bond'. James Norton The actor, 39, may not have yet achieved global stardom, but in his native UK, he's the psychopath from Happy Valley. Also starring as Meg's love interest, John Brooke, in Little Women, just like 007, Norton studied at Cambridge University. He says: 'I mean, as far as I'm concerned, I have not had a single conversation beyond like this. I had hoped Daniel Craig might do one or two more.' Riz Ahmed Oscar nominated for Best Actor for Sound of Metal in 2021, British-Pakistani actor, Ahmed, 42, was the first Muslim to be nominated in that category. Having shown off his versatility in roles such as Rogue One and Venom, he'll next be flexing his talents as the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet. He says: 'Any stretching the mould of what our traditional archetypes are appeals to me – so yes, those classic stories, be it a kind of superhero or James Bond.' John Boyega At 32, Boyega may be on the young side for the role, but he's already proven his franchise stamina on Star Wars. He's also shown an impressive breadth as an actor with his roles in Breaking and They Cloned Tyrone. While not as likely a candidate as some of the other actors on the list, he may just deliver an excellent Bond.
