Rory Kinnear Casts Doubt on 3 Bond Frontrunners as Amazon Nears 007 Decision

Summary
Rory Kinnear said he has heard nothing about the next James Bond film, but expects Amazon to keep some continuity by bringing back parts of Daniel Craig’s supporting cast.
Kinnear, who played Bill Tanner in 3 Bond films from 2008 to 2021, said he would return if asked, though he expects the reboot to take “a whole different approach.”
The actor also questioned reports that Jacob Elordi, Jack Lowden and Jack Barton are in final talks, saying Bond casting often lands on people “who aren’t being talked about.”
That view aligns with former Bond casting director Debbie McWilliams and reports around Denis Villeneuve, both favoring a more enigmatic, likely British actor rather than a heavily profiled contender.
