Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney has said she\u2019d rather take on the role of James Bond himself than play his love interest in the iconic spy franchise.<\/p>\n

The Euphoria and Anyone But You actor, 28, has been the subject of speculation linking her to the next Bond film \u2014 but she\u2019s made it clear she has her sights on the lead role.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, I don\u2019t know all the Bond rumours, but I\u2019ve always been a huge fan of the franchise, and I\u2019m excited and curious to see what they do with it,” Sweeney told Variety.<\/p>\n

When asked if she would be interested in playing the next Bond girl, Sweeney laughed and said: \u201cDepends on the script. I think I\u2019d have more fun as James Bond.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next actor to take up the famous 007 mantle has not yet been announced, following Daniel Craig\u2019s final outing as the secret agent in No Time to Die in 2021.<\/p>\n

Over a number of years, it has been suggested that the character could be gender-swapped.<\/p>\n

The series is currently on hiatus after having been acquired wholesale by Amazon after decades in the hands of Eon Productions.<\/p>\n

The acquisition has meant that producer Barbara Broccoli is no longer in control of the franchise – with some suggesting this may result in a radical rethinking of the beloved British franchise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"28 Oct 2025, 01:44 Updated: 9h ago The Euphoria actress had been touted as a potential Bond girl…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230007,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-230006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230006"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230006\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
