"Courtenay Valenti, the head of film at Amazon MGM Studios, told the crowd that they are 'taking the time to do this with care and deep respect,' which is basically executive language for 'James Bond is a baby.'"
"We've watched several would-be ideal Bonds age out of the part - Idris Elba and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, to name two - and it seems like that may keep happening."
"Now there are rumors about Louis Partridge, who could step into the role at the tender age of 22, but if Amazon and MGM keep waiting, this opportunity could pass them by."
"At this point, they might as well scope out the newborn wing of various British hospitals to see if there are any especially suave babies."
CinemaCon featured updates and announcements, but no news on the new James Bond casting. Amazon's film head emphasized careful selection, hinting at delays. Several potential candidates have aged out, and rumors suggest Louis Partridge, 22, could be a contender. However, if casting continues to be postponed, opportunities may be lost, leading to a search for even younger actors. The situation humorously suggests looking for newborns to fill the role if the pace does not change.
