New Rising Star Emerges as Favourite for ‘James Bond’ Role. There has been a lot of speculation about who will play the next James Bond. Patrick Schwarzenegger is a favorite in the mix.
The actor who starred in White Lotus is the son of legendary actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
A report in The Standard says that Amazon MGM is eyeing the rising star.
His performance on the hit HBO show is one reason he is being considered for the coveted role.
“Nothing is off the table for Amazon’s new staff. He is definitely a thing of the moment and has been noticed by them,” the insider said.
But Patrick could face stiff competition from other contenders for the role of 007, such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bridgerton star Reggie-Jean Page, and Idris Elba.
Earlier, Amazon announced the producers of the new 007 film: Amy Pascal and David Heyman.
“James Bond is one of the most iconic characters in cinematic history,” the duo said.
“We are humbled to follow in the footsteps of Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson, who have created so many extraordinary films, and are honored and excited to keep the spirit of Bond very much alive as we embark on our next adventure,” they concluded.
