Prediction markets put the probability at 13%: Jacob Elordi announced as next James Bond. Currently, markets see this as unlikely (13% YES). So Louis Partridge told Variety just last year while discussing potential ways to impress Steven Knight at the premiere for “House of Guinness.”.
Speculation surrounding the next James Bond continues to swirl, with Jacob Elordi frequently mentioned among a shortlist of younger contenders. A recent industry report notes that Elordi, at 27, would be the youngest actor to assume the iconic role if selected, highlighting a potential strategic shift by franchise steward Amazon MGM Studios toward a more youthful 007. The actor is considered a "keen target" for the studio, though he faces competition from peers like Callum Turner and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. [Variety, Apr 10]
This conjecture exists alongside conflicting reports, including a claim from April 7 that the next James Bond will be portrayed by a woman, a significant departure for the franchise. That report, which also mentioned casting for other roles, has not been corroborated by the official Bond producers, Eon Productions, leaving the true status of the search unclear. The ongoing media noise underscores the high-stakes nature of the casting decision for one of cinema's most valuable properties. [Yahoo, Apr 07]
Elordi's current profile is bolstered by the premiere of the third season of HBO's "Euphoria," where he is a series regular. His attendance at the season 3 premiere event in early April kept him in the public eye amid the Bond rumors. The core question of whether Jacob Elordi will be announced as the next James Bond remains unanswered, with official confirmation expected to come directly from Eon Productions when they conclude their search.
