The afterglow of the 2025 Oscar winners continues to be very a lot in impact for individuals who attended this weekend’s 97th Academy Awards. Even if you happen to have been merely current within the viewers for the enjoyable and video games, there was so much to take pleasure in.
And whereas actor Joe Alwyn is just not going to be seen swanning about with e-Taylor Swift any time quickly, he is perhaps making an attempt to begin a relationship with Amazon-MGM Studios, and a few 007’s martinis, simply in time for James Bond 26.
You’ll be able to thank Selection correspondent Marc Malkin for this potential connection, as he requested The Brutalist co-star whether or not or not he’d need to contemplate turning into the subsequent Bond. Whereas this reply may be very enthusiastic, you may inform the person needs to speak to his brokers, who’ll speak to Amazon’s buddies, in hopes of speaking to him:
Who wouldn’t throw their hat within the ring? You understand? … Might I [imagine]? I imply, if you happen to’re providing.
A lot as Henry Cavill has beforehand admitted in his personal dance with the James Bond saga, you may positively inform that Joe Alwyn is making an attempt to maintain his cool, whereas additionally being cheerfully keen. And like the person mentioned, who wouldn’t be?
The alleged 007 drama that’s supposedly led to the large shakeup surrounding the James Bond legacy has thrown all the pieces out the window, much more so after studying Barbara Broccoli’s rumored causes for retirement. At this level all the pieces from Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s 007 frontrunner standing to the supposed tone Amazon-MGM needs for Bond 26 is up for dialogue.
So it’s good to hedge your bets if you happen to’re an English actor of their 30-somethings who needs a long-term engagement with a tuxedo and an Aston Martin. Which is why Alwyn’s reply to the query “shaken or stirred” can be fairly promising:
I like each. … I do. That’s the issue.
There’s at all times going to be an up and coming actor who needs to star in a James Bond film that is perhaps a bigger expertise than some bonkers indie dramedy that a lot cooler. Sorry, that wasn’t truly a knock, however truly an ideal alternative to toss out one other reference for the Swifties, in addition to anybody who noticed Mr. Alwyn in Sorts of Kindness.
Though whereas we’re speaking up Joe Alwyn’s potential as the subsequent 007, wouldn’t it’s wild if he was on such good phrases with Ms. Swift that he may ask her to write down the subsequent James Bond music? Within the Amazon-MGM period of James Bond, something is feasible; even when the potential for unhealthy blood may render this wildest dream a clean house.
For now, we’ll simply have to attend and see what occurs with the way forward for James Bond motion pictures. Fingers crossed that whomever is in cost is a large fan, and retains in thoughts my helpful strategies for what Bond 26 must do for the franchise. And to Mr. Alwyn, in addition to another aspiring 007, I increase a shaken and/or stirred martini to your well being and luck; as a result of issues are most likely going to develop into much more aggressive than ordinary.
