On April 5th, Daniel Craig hung up his tux after no time to die back in 2021, and the hunt for the next James Bond is still wide open at, 58 years old. Now Hollywood director Paul Feig is shaking things up, saying 28-year-old Euphoria star Cindy Sweeney should step in as the Super Spy. He calls her hard-working, smart, and perfect for the role over just another Bond girl. Earlier this week, at the Brit Awards, singer Olivia Dean shot to the top of the odds to record the next Bond theme, Time with Ray at 2-1. Harry Styles climbed to 6-1 after his own performance, right behind Dua Lipa and Lana Del Rey. These music heavyweights, like Billie Eilish and Ado, have set a high bar for that iconic track. Bridgerton's Regé Jean Page, sitting at 4-1 odds, finally spoke out on the rumors. The 38-year-old actor called the constant buzz strange and intense, saying he had to navigate it to keep some normalcy. Fans love him from his duke role, but he's keeping cool amid the hype.

Other names buzzing include Jacob Allordy from his weathering Heitzgig, plus Callum Turner, Aaron Taylor Johnson, and Idris Elba. Meanwhile, Dune director Dennis Villeneuve is linked to helm the next film as director and executive producer. The franchise has seen long ways before, like the 6-year gap between licensed to kill and golden eye. With Amazon MGM now holding the reins after last year's shift, expect more twists before we see who suits up as 007. That's the story for today, entertainment and celebrity news. Today, driven by AI.
