Harris Dickinson addresses these James Bond rumors whereas placing down superhero films. After Daniel Craig bid farewell to the function in 2021 with No Time To Die, the way forward for the 007 franchise has obtained a lot of shocking updates.
After Amazon shockingly took over artistic management of the franchise earlier this 12 months, it was subsequently confirmed that Denis Villeneuve will direct Bond 26. Lately, it was reported that Villeneuve is trying to solid a “recent face” British actor in his late 20s or early 30s.
Throughout a latest interview with Josh Horowitz on the Blissful Unhappy Confused podcast, Dickinson, who was famous as a possible 007 choice this previous summer season, discusses his relationship to main franchise leisure. When Horowitz asks whether or not Dickinson could be open to showing in a superhero film, the actor does not appear all that . He explains:
“It relies on the function. If I am being completely trustworthy, I do not suppose I’ve seen something within the final 5 to 10 years in that universe that has been exceptionally attention-grabbing character-wise. The villains, then again, perhaps. However, if I am being completely trustworthy, yeah, working with auteur filmmakers which have an actual distinct factor to say intrigues me extra, with characters which can be extra carefully associated to the true world not directly.
When the dialog shifts to Bond and Villeneuve’s involvement within the subsequent installment, Dickinson is notably extra intrigued. “In fact,” he solutions after being requested whether or not he is thought of 007. Take a look at his full Bond remark beneath:
The function of James Bond is attention-grabbing. The circumstances of Bond are attention-grabbing. The character, the world, what he goes by, that is attention-grabbing. You may have a director like Denis, there isn’t any doubt that they will be…yeah.
What This Means For James Bond 26
A latest Bond update advised that audiences should not anticipate any main Bond casting bulletins for fairly some time. Villeneuve is currently working on Dune: Part Three, with his shift to 007 and discovering the following actor for the function not anticipated to begin till subsequent 12 months. Mid or late 2026, then, looks as if when extra concrete information might arrive.
At 29, Dickinson is in the suitable age vary, and he additionally has motion film expertise, having appeared in The King’s Man (2021). That being stated, Dickinson’s function in that movie, and others like Babygirl (2024) and The Iron Claw (2023), means he isn’t precisely a “recent face,” and he’ll solely turn into a much bigger star together with his function within the upcoming Beatles biopics.
Whereas it isn’t clear whether or not Dickinson will severely pursue Bond, stories so far do imply that a number of long-rumored 007 candidates may very well be out of the operating. Stars like Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, and Henry Cavill, amongst others, are all too previous and too well-known. Even Aaron Taylor-Johnson, at 35, may very well be too previous, and he is now a a lot larger star.
If Villeneuve actually is in search of a “recent face” for the following Bond, that clearly makes predictions difficult. If true, although, casting would typically align with earlier iterations, with most 007 actors having not been main stars previous to taking up the function.
The King’s Man might not have completely linked with audiences or critics, nevertheless it does actually recommend Dickinson has the chops to be an motion star. It will be attention-grabbing to see him put in heart stage because the British superspy.
Even when Dickinson does not find yourself within the function, Villeneuve’s method may very well be an efficient one. After how profitable and standard Craig’s run as 007 was, the James Bond franchise appears in want of a big shakeup to kick off a brand new period. Given his filmography, Villeneuve looks as if simply the filmmaker for the job.
