Is Patrick Gibson the New Face of James Bond? Fans Think So!

James Bond fans are speculating over who will replace legendary Daniel Craig in the new 007 First Light game after it's release on Thursday night

James Bond Fans Are Losing Their Minds: The Shocking New 007 Game May Reveal the Next Bond

The world of espionage is abuzz with excitement as James Bond fans are speculating over who will replace the legendary Daniel Craig in the new 007 First Light game. It's been four long years since Daniel Craig exploded out of the film franchise in No Time To Die, leaving behind a legacy that's hard to fill. But rumors have been swirling for months about who will take his place - and fans think they've finally cracked the code.

In a move that's left everyone talking, Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled the first look at a new, younger version of 007 in an officially endorsed video game prequel. The game follows Bond as he embarks on a mission to earn his double-O status straight out of the Royal Navy - and it's got everyone wondering if we've just seen the next Bond.

The game features a 26-year-old Bond who's hot off the boats, but with a hint of mischief in his eye. And while nobody has been officially confirmed as the actor playing Bond, fans are convinced that Patrick Gibson from Dexter: Original Sin is the one to watch. After all, he's already voiced the new Bond in the game - and if you look closely, you'll spot the resemblance.

But what really has everyone talking is the uncanny likeness between Patrick Gibson's portrayal of 007 and the rumors swirling around who will play the role in the next film. Fans are convinced that they've finally worked it out - and it's Patrick Gibson all the way. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), fans have been sharing their theories, with one excited fan writing: "Unless I'm mistaken, our new game Bond is being played by Patrick Gibson! Another Irish Bond in the bag, can't argue with that!"

Another enthusiastic fan chimed in: "So James Bond is definitely played by Patrick Gibson from Dexter Original Sin. This is peak casting!" And a third added: "Patrick Gibson as James Bond?!? This is peak casting - I'm sold on this idea already!"

It's been announced that Patrick Gibson from Dexter: Original Sin has been cast as the voice of 007 in the new computer game (pictured in 2024)

But what about the rest of the cast? Well, fans are in for a treat as familiar faces like M, Q, and Moneypenny are set to make an appearance. But there's also a new character to look out for: John Greenaway, a mentor figure played by none other than Lennie James (best known for his role as Morgan in the Walking Dead). The trailer promises action-packed fun, with Bond seemingly meeting Moneypenny, taking on target practice, and sneaking into a museum to take down guards.

And let's not forget the humor - Bond quips "Jet lag. Gets me every time" as he strolls out of a ruined hotel room, flanked by a stunned maid. We also see him racing through tropical islands on a speedboat, disarming thugs amidst fireworks, and ending on a cliffhanger as he and Greenaway are lowered towards a pit of hungry crocodiles. The witty remark "I suppose this is another teachable moment?" leaves fans in stitches.

But what really sets the game apart is its love letter to British heritage. From a Land Rover Discovery in the background of a fight scene to a Triumph motorbike and at least two Aston Martins, it's clear that Bond is back to his roots - just like the films. And while Patrick Gibson may be the hot tip for the next Bond, one thing's for sure: James Bond fans are in for a wild ride with 007 First Light.
