In other words, it can be said that if an American takes on the role of James Bond, Glen Powell will not be selected for the part of Agent 007.
What did Glen Powell say about playing James Bond?
As a film enthusiast, I’ve been keenly observing the rising star that is Powell in the world of Hollywood. The rumors about him being considered for the role of James Bond are buzzing around, particularly if Amazon decides to cast an American actor for the upcoming movie. If selected, it would undoubtedly elevate his status to new heights.
According to current reports, there’s no indication that Amazon or MGM Studios are considering an American actor over a British one for a role, making Powell’s participation more of a speculation at this point.
If, for some reason, Amazon wanted to cast Powell as the first American 007, would he do it?
In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Powell humorously stated, “As a Texan, I’m not the right fit for James Bond. We have a bit of fun at home; I could play Jimmy Bond perhaps, but James Bond should be played by a genuine British actor. That role calls for someone in a tuxedo who truly fits the part.
Perhaps Powell won’t don a tuxedo as Bond, but he may well need to slip into formal attire for multiple premieres this autumn, as he promotes his forthcoming ventures.
Initially, we have Chad Powers, a budding comedy about football that’s the brainchild of Powell and Michael Waldron. This series is inspired by a sketch featuring Eli Manning, where Powell takes on the role of Russ Holliday – a fallen college football player who assumes the identity of Chad Powers to play quarterback at another institution.
Chad Powers heads to Hulu on September 30, 2025.
Towards the end of this year, Powell is set to lead Edgar Wright’s movie version of The Running Man. In the film, Powell portrays Ben Richards, a participant in the dangerous game show known as The Running Man, where he aims to last for 30 days to claim the cash reward.
In addition to the main cast, actors such as William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin make notable appearances.
The Running Man opens in theaters on November 14, 2025.
In this scenario, Denis Villeneuve is set to take on the role of director for the initial James Bond film under the supervision of Amazon MGM Studios. The script will be written by Steven Knight. Amy Pascal and David Heyman are attached as producers for the project.
