The cast of the next film in the James Bond franchise is starting to come together.
A wildcard pick is emerging for the coveted role of 007’s leading lady.
Now this viral Internet sensation has the inside track to be the next James Bond girl.
The James Bond franchise is undergoing a reboot after actor Daniel Craig retired from the role of 007 after 2021’s No Time to Die.
With the 26th film in the series in the initial stages of development, rumors are heating up about who could be cast in the lead roles.
The next Bond girl could be actress Syndey Sweeney
26-year-old American actress Sydney Sweeney is the leading contender to be the love interest of James Bond in the next film.
Her star has been on the rise in Hollywood and becoming a Bond girl could take her career to the next level.
Known for her role in the HBO television series Euphoria and the hit romantic comedy Anyone but You, she’s become a sensation on the Internet with more than 19 million followers on Instagram.

Oddsmaker Liam Solomon, Head of PR for Instant Casinos, said, “Her star power could start the new Bond era off with a Box Office bang.”
Instant Casinos has her pegged as the favorite for the role at 5/2 odds followed by Jenna Ortega at 11/2, Lilly Collins at 13/2, Millie Bobby Brown at 13/2, and Zoey Deutch at 8/1.
British actor reportedly offered the role of James Bond
British tabloid newspaper The Sun reported that Eon Productions offered the role of James Bond to British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Taylor-Johnson is best known for his work in Bullet Train, Kick-Ass, and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
And he’s reportedly set to accept the offer to become 007 shortly.
“The breaking news of Aaron Taylor-Johnson close to signing on to be the next 007 has shifted the market for the other significant roles in the spy franchise,” Solomon said.
Solomon claimed that a deal had already been worked out for Sweeney to become the next Bond girl.
“Actress of the moment, Sydney Sweeney, is a new favorite to be cast as the ‘Bond Girl’. The American has signed on to play a pivotal role in the highly anticipated Euphoria season 3, airing in 2025, rumored to be the same year Bond 26 will hit cinemas,” Soloman added.
Now Sweeney could be joining the illustrious list of Bond girls including Jane Seymour, Halle Berry, and Ursula Andress.
