Overview

• The Hollywood Reporter says Rose-Marsh underwent a late-June screen test reading sides from 1995’s GoldenEye and was told not to impersonate any previous Bond.
• At 37 and with red hair, Rose-Marsh matches Daniel Craig’s debut age and would be the first ginger actor to take on 007 if cast.
• Amazon MGM Studios and Rose-Marsh’s representatives have declined to comment on reports of his audition despite outreach from multiple outlets.
• The project’s creative leadership is in place with Villeneuve directing, Steven Knight writing and Amy Pascal alongside David Heyman producing under Amazon’s oversight.
• Unverified casting tales—including an OK Magazine claim involving Jeff Bezos’s wife—have fueled speculation as the search for Bond 26 remains opaque.
