Shock new favourite to play James Bond met with huge backlash from fans who have branded the actor 'too adorable' for the part


Supporters have been eagerly waiting to find out who will be the next star with a 'license to kill' after Daniel Craig relinquished the part with the 2021 film No Time To Die.

Leaks about the potential cast for the highly-anticipated film came a short time after Amazon studios announced that Denis Villeneuve - best known for directing Warner Bros' two-part Dune adaptation - will be the movie's director via a press release. After Amazon acquired MGM in 2022, they obtained full creative control of the 007 franchise with a deal they struck with Barbara and Michael, the offspring of original James Bond producer, Albert R. Broccoli. It was announced earlier this year that Amazon Prime had taken over 'creative control' of the James Bond franchise leaving fans fearing the beloved films could be ruined by endless spin-offs such as Star Wars.
