Josh O'Connor Addresses James Bond Casting Rumors

The actor denies any official involvement with the iconic role, attributing the speculation to a series of coincidences.

Josh O'Connor, known for his roles in 'The Crown' and 'Challengers,' dismissed rumors about being cast as the next James Bond, stating he has not been contacted by Eon Productions.
The actor explained that the speculation began after he jokingly mentioned playing Bond and participated in an interview with former Bond actor Daniel Craig.
O'Connor is one of several actors rumored for the role, alongside names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Henry Cavill, and Regé-Jean Page, with no official casting decisions announced yet.
The James Bond franchise's future remains uncertain, with reports of creative disagreements between Amazon, which acquired MGM in 2022, and the Broccoli family, who control the series.
O'Connor is currently promoting his new film 'Rebuilding' and has several upcoming projects, including collaborations with directors Rian Johnson and Steven Spielberg.
