Sydney Sweeney NOT Eyeing James Bond Role: Debunking the Rumors!
Sydney Sweeney NOT Bond Girl: Insider Spills Tea!
Rumors are swirling that 27-year-old actress Sydney Sweeney is set to sizzle as a Bond Girl in the upcoming James Bond adaptation from Amazon MGM Studios. But, according to an insider, those whispers are nothing more than "wishful thinking on the part of her fans" - and there's no truth to the speculation!
The Euphoria starlet was spotted at Jeff Bezos' wedding to Lauren Sanchez earlier this month, sparking rumors that she might be joining forces with the Amazon mogul for a role in his iconic film franchise. However, sources close to the project have confirmed that Sweeney is NOT currently in talks to join the long-running series of spy movies.
But why did speculation about her involvement run rampant? It's all thanks to her business partnership with Bezos and Sanchez on their new lingerie line, funded by their venture capital company Coatue. The three are clearly tight-knit, and fans naturally assumed that would translate to Sweeney scoring a role in the Bond franchise.
However, insiders have confirmed that production on the film has not yet reached the casting phase, and producers have already earmarked filmmaker Denis Villeneuve to helm the project. Villeneuve, who's helmed hits like Dune, is a self-proclaimed die-hard Bond fan and has expressed his excitement about joining the franchise.
The 007 newbie said in a statement confirming his involvement: "Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007... I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come."
The most recent release in the franchise was 2021's No Time to Die, which marked Daniel Craig's final performance as the iconic secret agent.
But what about Sweeney's own career trajectory? She's been on a professional roll lately, starring in the 2023 romantic comedy Anyone But You alongside Glen Powell and appearing in the 2024 horror movie Immaculate and AppleTV+ thriller Echo Valley. Will she continue to steer her surging career in new directions or stick with what works?
For now, fans can rest assured that Sydney Sweeney will not be trading in her Euphoria tears for a Bond Girl role anytime soon. But hey, you never know - maybe she'll surprise us all!
