Hollywood can’t seem to make up its mind on what the new James Bond franchise will be like. For years now, there have been rumors about who the new James Bond will be, along with who the Bond girl will be. Many outlets claimed the frontrunners are Michelle Keegan, Jodie Comer, Eve Hewson, Kaya Scodelario, Sydney Sweeney, Zendaya, and even Margaret Qualley after her Bond-themed Oscars 2025 performance; but another hat has been thrown in the ring: Kendall Jenner.
After Kris Jenner’s James Bond-themed bash held at Jeff Bezos’ mansion, many think that was a subtle clue that one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan could be the next Bond girl. But why Kendall? Well, Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede told DailyMail that it would be a “brilliant” and a “very modern move” to cast the supermodel.

Kendall Jenner at the Fifth Annual Academy Museum Gala held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on October 18, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.
“She fits the mold of the classic Bond woman, effortlessly glamorous, poised, and mysterious but she also brings a more current edge that could completely redefine the role and take away from the stereotype we’ve become accustomed to,” he said. “What makes Kendall so interesting is that she’s not just a model, she’s a brand in herself.”
He added, “Turning 30 marks a new chapter, and with her success in business with her 818 Tequila and her growing confidence on screen, she’s clearly looking to evolve. The timing couldn’t be better.”
She’s played herself in multiple projects like Dave, Ocean’s Eight, and even played a small role as “AJ” in Hawaii Five-0 back in 2012; so it’s not totally outside the realm of possibility.
As of Nov 2025, we know the new James Bond film will be made by Amazon MGM Studios and directed by Denis Villeneuve, written by Ian Fleming and Steven Knight, and per IMDb, it will be produced by Amy Pascal and David Heyman.
