Joe Alwyn Expresses Interest in James Bond Role After Craig

At the 2025 Oscars, actor Joe Alwyn expressed enthusiasm for the role of James Bond, stating, 'Oh, wow. Who wouldn’t throw their hat in the ring?' He humorously added that he would accept the role 'if you’re offering!' Alwyn's comments come in the wake of Daniel Craig's departure from the iconic role after his last film, No Time to Die, in 2021. With the franchise's future still uncertain and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson hinting at a new direction under Amazon MGM Studios, speculation about the next Bond continues. The casting process remains open, with no frontrunner identified yet, and producers emphasizing the need for a new creative vision. Alwyn joins a long list of potential candidates, all eager to take on the 007 mantle.
