Next James Bond: The Brutalist star and Taylor Swift ex Joe Alwyn hints at possible 007 casting: âWho wouldnât?â
The English actor starred in The Brutalist alongside Guy Pearce and Best Actor winner Adrian Brody
The Brutalist star Joe Alwyn, 34, has suggested he would be interested in playing James Bond while attending the 97th Oscars ceremony on Sunday night.
Speculation on who will succeed Daniel Craig as 007 has intensified since streaming giant Amazon gained full creative control of the franchise.
Last month, long-time Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson stepped back from their leading roles in the iconic series.
While remaining co-owners, Amazon MGM now hold the reigns over the franchise – including who will play one of Britain’s most legendary exports.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, assured fans about the company's commitment to the franchise's legacy.
"Since his theatrical introduction over 60 years ago, James Bond has been one of the most iconic characters in filmed entertainment... We are honoured to continue this treasured heritage," Hopkins said.
Following the announcement, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos asked his followers on X: "Who'd you pick as the next Bond?"
Previous favourites like James Norton and Aaron Taylor-Johnson remain in contention, holding 5/2 and 3/1 odds respectively according to OLBG.

The Gentleman star Theo James remains the frontrunner with 7/4 odds but newcomer to the race Harris Dickinson has become “massive market mover” with his odds being slashed to 5/2.
However, Alwyn may now have entered his own name in the race ahead of Sunday’s glitzy ceremony.
Speaking in a red-carpet interview with Variety, Alwyn grinned as he was asked if he could ever see himself playing Bond.
“Oh wow... Who wouldn’t throw their hat in the ring?” he said, indicating he'd be quick to take up an offer of the role.
