New James Bond Officially Joins The 007 Franchise Today

Ian Fleming's James Bond is set for a cinematic revival with director Denis Villeneuve's in-the-works feature film, currently known colloquially as Bond 26 . Casting for the new 007 is currently underway, with a half-dozen leading men in contention to succeed actor Daniel Craig, who retired as Bond in 2021's No Time To Die after starring in five franchise films. Before the new big-screen Bond arrives in movie theaters, there's another brand-new Bond actor as of Thursday, Oct. 29, thanks to the release of Young Bond: SilverFin , with actor Isaac Rouse in the lead role.
