Tom Holland makes BIG statement about playing new James Bond, replacing Daniel Craig: 'We'll keep it to minimum...'

Hollywood star Tom Holland has finally broken his silence on joining the James Bond franchise. The actor has been on a busy slate lately, with back-to-back films including Marvel's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' and 'Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey.' Amid the growing anticipation for the actor's upcoming releases, speculations are also rife about Holland's possible casting in Amazon MGM Studios' next James Bond film. Set to be directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Steven Knight, the film is currently in development and is expected to bring on board the next 007 after Daniel Craig stepped down from the role in 2021. Several actors have been rumoured to be frontrunners for the part, including Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson.

During a conversation with Gordon Ramsey, the 'Uncharted' actor was asked about the Bond reports. "Listen, there's speculation at the moment. We'll keep it to a minimum for now. We'll get there one day," he said, as quoted by Variety. The actor shared that he would love the opportunity to play James Bond and added, "Dude, I mean every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry. I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive, you know, I could not have dreamed of having the career that I have."
