There have been rumors that Amazon MGM Studios has revealed that Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie could be the main stars of the next James Bond movie, which is tentatively dubbed Bond 26. This is a groundbreaking development. Following Amazon’s recent acquisition of creative authority over the venerable series, this casting announcement ushers in a new era for 007.

Henry Cavill, renowned for his roles in Man of Steel and The Witcher, is set to don the tuxedo as the legendary British spy, James Bond. Margot Robbie, acclaimed for her performances in I, Tonya and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, will co-star, though details about her character remain under wraps. This dynamic pairing aims to infuse fresh energy into the series, appealing to both longtime fans and new audiences.

This casting revelation follows Amazon’s significant investment of approximately $1 billion to secure creative control over the James Bond franchise, in addition to its $8.5 billion purchase of MGM in 2021. This strategic move has effectively ended the Broccoli family’s six-decade stewardship of the series. Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have expressed confidence in Amazon MGM Studios’ vision.
