Lennie James Backs Patrick Gibson for Next Bond

0:00On April 28th, Lenny James, the voice behind MI6 mentor John Greenway in the upcoming James Bond video game, just through his hat in the ring for the next big casting debate. He straight up recommends Patrick Gibson, who plays the swath spy in that same game as Daniel Craig's live action successor. James says Gibson nails the role so well, producers would be foolish to overlook him. This comes from a fresh chat James had with radial times gaming, hyping his co-star from the 7 first live project. Amazon MGM Studios is steering the franchise now, and they've locked in Dune director Dennis Villeneuve to helm the next Bond flick, but no lead actor. Yet, fans are buzzing with all sorts of names floating around, like Jacobalordi, Callum Turner, Harris Dickinson, and even Louis Partridge as a top pick. Blately, James's endorsement adds real fuel, especially since Gibson's already channeling that Bond vibe in the game.

1:00The casting search stays wide open, with rumors swirling but nothing official. Meanwhile, Bond heads can tie themselves over with 7 first light, dropping May 27th, 2026, from Isle Interactive. Whatever shakes out, this reboot's got that high stakes energy building, and voices like James keep the conversation sharp and exciting.
