Denis Villeneuve to direct next James Bond film for Amazon MGM Studios, but who pill play 007?
Well it's finally time to say that, move over basic spy thrillers, because Denis Villeneuve is about to reinvent espionage cinema. The director behind Dune and Blade Runner 2049 has been confirmed to helm the next James Bond film, with Amazon MGM Studios finally spilling the tea on one of the most buzzed-about jobs in Hollywood. Denis Villeneuve to direct next James Bond film for Amazon | Credit: X/IGN The new face behind Bond's comeback Villeneuve's Bond dreams go way back. According to insiders, he grew up watching the suave superspy with his dad, starting from Sean Connery's Dr. No. He sees Bond as sacred ground and wants to honour the legacy while pushing the franchise into its next era of international intrigue and theatrical badassery. Jonathan Bailey as Bond? Not so fast… While there is no official 007 yet, Bridgerton heartthrob Jonathan Bailey's name has been floating around like a martini garnish. But apparently, the actor is still on the fence. Rumour has it he is unsure about taking on the iconic tux, and the insane expectations that come with it. Still, fans are already envisioning a horseback Bond moment, given Bailey's emotional attachment to his horse, Jack, from Bridgerton. Not even kidding. Jonathan Bailey as Bond? Not so fast… | Credit: Netflix Big studio, bigger stakes This film marks a major milestone for Amazon MGM Studios after its $8.5 billion MGM acquisition. With complete creative control of the franchise, and not only Bailey, the studio is also banking on Cillian Murphy, and many others to revive 007 post-Daniel Craig. And honestly? The timing could not be better. The last Bond outing, No Time to Die, dropped in 2021, and fans have been parched for a refill. Who do you think will make a good James Bond? Villeneuve is currently busy wrapping up Dune 3, but producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman say this Bond film is his dream project. The director is also juggling massive titles like Cleopatra and Nuclear War: A Scenario, but has made space for 007 because, well, it is James freaking Bond. From Sandworms to Spycraft Known for crafting visually stunning, emotionally intense worlds, Villeneuve is not expected to play it safe. Amazon executives are hyped, calling him one of today's greatest filmmakers. Translation: expect poetic dialogue, slick suits, and maybe even a Bond villain who could survive Arrakis.

Zendaya And Timothée Chalamet's Kids In 'Dune 3' Casting
A hill I will gladly die on is that Dune: Part Two was the best movie of 2024. And so, whenever I'm feeling a little down, it helps to remember that Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya will be returning for a third Dune film in the not-too-distant future. For context, Denis Villeneuve's first two Dune movies, Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two, were both based on the events that take place in Frank Herbert's first Dune novel, which came out in 1965. The third and final movie from Denis's Dune trilogy is confirmed to be an adaptation of the second and more controversial book in the series, Dune: Messiah, which picks up 12 years after the events at the end of Dune: Part Two. The film will likely be called Dune: Messiah or Dune: Part Three, but for now, most people are referring to it as Dune 3, so we'll go with that. So far, we don't have a ton of solid information on Dune 3, other than that it's definitely happening and will likely start shooting this summer. It's expected that Timmy and Zendaya will return as Paul Atreides and Chani, along with Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin, whose characters all feature in Dune: Messiah. It's also been reported that Robert Pattinson is in talks to play the villain role of Scytale… but we won't get too excited just yet. And now, as Timothée and Zendaya are likely preparing to get their stillsuits back on, there's a new report about two exciting additions to the cast — the young actors who will play Paul and Chani's twin children: Leto II and Ghanima. According to Deadline, Ghanima will be played by Ida Brooke, who you may know from Silo, while Leto II will be portrayed by a newcomer called Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, who, as you may have guessed, happens to be the child of Jason Mamoa and Lisa Bonet. There have been a lot of reactions to the reports, which, as it stands, have not been fully confirmed. However, the main topic of conversation is how damn accurate the casting is?! Like, I'm not sure they could've found two kids who look more like they could be the biological kids of Timothée and Zendaya? Another fun element to all this — and this is your OFFICIAL SPOILER WARNING — is that Nakoa-Wolf will likely get to share the screen with his dad, who has confirmed that he will be making a 'comeback' as Duncan Idaho, his character who died in Dune: Part One. (If you're confused, it might be an idea to read the books.) Anyway, I, for one, am super excited about this. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
