Who Will Amazon Cast as James Bond?
With Amazon MGM Studios gaining creative control of the James Bond franchise, who will emerge as the next 007?

He parachuted into the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games with the Queen, for God’s sake!” Perhaps this changing attitude could pave the way for younger Brits like Regé-Jean Page, Damson Idris, Aaron Pierre and Lucien Laviscount, who have emerged as popular choices among fans.
