Rumor has it that Margot Robbie will play the protagonist in a new adaptation of the venerable spy series, suggesting that a new chapter in the Bond franchise may be in the works. The purported project, tentatively named Jamie Bond, would represent a bold reinvention of the traditional James Bond formula, replacing 007 with a female agent who possesses equal amounts of charm, talent, and intrigue.

According to early reports from insiders, the idea stems from a desire to modernize the franchise and explore new stories without retreading old ground. While Daniel Craig’s tenure as Bond ended with 2021’s No Time to Die, the producers have allegedly been exploring ways to breathe new life into the series. Margot Robbie, with her proven versatility in roles such as Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey and Sharon Tate in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, is said to be the perfect choice for this bold evolution.

The rumored plot for Jamie Bond is said to follow Agent Jamie Bond, an MI6 operative known for her razor-sharp wit, fearlessness, and unorthodox methods. Rather than being a reboot of James Bond’s legacy, Jamie is said to operate in the same universe, making subtle nods to her predecessor’s legacy while carving her own path in a world of espionage, danger, and glamour.
