by

The search for the next James Bond is really heating up, and Jacob Elordi is now a leading contender. The Australian actor has become a hot topic online, fueled by rumors circulating on the celebrity gossip site Deux Moi. While Elordi is already getting a lot of attention thanks to the release of his new, and somewhat controversial, film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, the idea of him playing 007 has sparked mixed reactions from fans.

This isn’t the first time Jacob Elordi, known for his role in Euphoria, has been mentioned as a possible James Bond. He’s consistently acknowledged the enthusiastic support from fans, saying it’s flattering to even be considered for such a famous series.

Elordi has said he’s happy people are interested in seeing him in action films, and views that public excitement as a career boost. However, the competition is fierce, with Amazon, MGM, and Eon Productions looking at several well-known actors.

Last year, sources said Elordi was a top contender along with Tom Holland and Harris Dickinson. Recently, there’s been talk that director Denis Villeneuve, who may be directing the new films, is considering someone new to take on the role and lead the franchise for the next ten years.

Fans have had a varied response to rumors that Jacob Elordi might be the next James Bond, with many hoping for a different British actor. Some fans specifically championed Callum Turner, believing he has the ideal look for the role. Others were more direct, stating they didn’t want Elordi as Bond, despite liking him as an actor. A common concern is that Elordi appears in too many projects, leading some to wonder if he’s the only actor working currently. Interestingly, some believe Elordi would be better suited to play a Bond villain, suggesting his intense and brooding style would fit that role perfectly.

Despite ongoing speculation about a potential James Bond role, Jacob Elordi is currently gaining attention for his performance in the new film Wuthering Heights. Directed by Emerald Fennell, this reimagining of the classic story features Elordi as a compelling Heathcliff, opposite Margot Robbie’s Catherine Earnshaw. The film, known for its contemporary music and realistic style, was a major topic of conversation over Valentine’s Day weekend, although reviews have been mixed regarding the connection between the lead actors.

Later this year, Jacob Elordi will begin filming Outer Dark, the first English-language film from director László Nemes. The movie is a dark and gritty story set in the Appalachian Mountains, adapted from a novel by Cormac McCarthy. Elordi continues to be involved in ambitious and challenging projects, and his schedule remains very full.
