The name’s Dickinson… Harris Dickinson.

Yep, it’s time for Tom Holland and Jacob Elordi to move over, because there’s a new 007 favorite in town—and he’s got the odds to prove it. As Amazon gears up for its big James Bond reboot, they’ve already locked in a top-tier director—Dune and Blade Runner 2049 genius Denis Villeneuve. But the bigger question on everyone’s mind is—who will become the next Bond?

Enter Harris Dickinson, The King’s Man and Babygirl actor, who now has 5/2 odds of being the next suave spy. That means he’s currently leading the race, leaving behind some pretty big names, including MCU’s Tom Holland and Euphoria star Jacob Elordi. Even previous fan-favorites like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jack Lowden have slipped down the ranks.

It’s a surprising shake-up, but one that fans seem to be excited about.

The highly anticipated James Bond reboot has now found its director in Dune and Blade Runner 2049’s Denis Villeneuve, but we are still waiting to find out who will don the tux and fire a bullet down the camera as blood dribbles down. With things clearly ramping up for Amazon’s new take on 007, a new favorite for the coveted role has now emerged...and he’s a real king’s man.

Following the recent reveal that Amazon is now eyeing a...divisive trio of actors for the iconic action hero, one such name from that list has now taken the top spot, according to the bookies. The King's Man and Babygirl star Harris Dickinson now boasts odds of 5/2, with the lesser-known actor, who finds himself on Amazon’s preferred list alongside MCU star Tom Holland and Euphoria’s Jacob Elordi, pushing previous favorites Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jack Lowden down the rankings.

The hunt for the next James Bond rages on, and a new favorite has now emerged. Alongside the likes of The Gentlemen star Theo James, former Superman Henry Cavill, Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden, and Kraven the Hunter star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Enola Holmes and Pistol star Louis Partridge has seen his odds improve, as the action franchise potentially skews towards a younger 007 in its highly anticipated reboot.

Best known for roles in Netflix’s Enola Holmes franchise, in which he stars as Viscount Tewkesbury and will return for the now filming Enola Holmes 3, and for portraying punk rock icon Sid Vicious in the TV series Pistol, Louis Partridge, aged just 21, is now on odds of 11/2, according to Paddy Power.

Not only do his age, experience, and lesser-known profile work to his advantage, Partridge has in fact played a younger version of another firm James Bond favorite, Henry Cavill, with...

Ever since Daniel Craig holstered the Walther Ppk for good, guessing his successor has become a full-time pastime for bookmakers and Bond obsessives alike. The field of rumored candidates changes weekly – Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Regé-Jean Page, James Norton all sound familiar? - but one name refuses to leave the top end of betting odds: former Superman and previous Bond hopeful Henry Cavill. According to one James Bond historian, Mark O’Connell, despite having been ruled out of the running multiple times, Cavill’s previous failure to clinch the role is also his big advantage over the other names floating around the betting markets.

O’Connell spoke about Cavill’s chances in a conversation with the New York Post, reminding everyone of a historical truth that puts Cavill right back in the running. For those that don’t know, several previous Bond stars were selected for the role after previously missing out on it.

Following the monumental creative shift in the James Bond franchise, which has seen the reins handed over to Amazon, has left fans waiting with bated breath to find out who will be chosen to take over from Daniel Craig as the next 007. Now, an expert in the beloved action series has not only offered some insight into when we will find out this key piece of information, but has revealed a new favorite for the role...and he’s a real King’s Man.

Addressing Daniel Craig's potential successor, James Bond expert Mark O'Connell revealed during an appearance on Lbc that we will find out the identity of the next 007 by summer 2025. Not only that, he also offered a major hint as to which lesser-known actor is being eyed to play the lead in Amazon’s reboot: Harris Dickinson.

“Henry Cavill could be back in the running now. Amazon's...

Taking Back Sunday have announced their new album, 152, marking the band’s first studio full-length in seven years. It drops on October 27th, but the latest single, “S’old,” is out now. Stream it below.

Spanning 10 tracks, 152 was produced by Tushar Apte and mixed by Neal Avron. In a statement, the band said, “Our hope is that you’re able to find a little bit of yourself in this new collection of songs, because you’re not alone, and neither are we.”

“You would think after 20 years, we knew what each other is going to do,” said lead vocalist Adam Lazzara. “But there were so many times making this record where I heard the initial idea and thought I knew where it would go, but then I was super surprised.” Drummer Mark O’Connell added, “When we’re writing songs, the one thing we ask ourselves [is], ‘Is it capable of making people feel something?...

Shane Rimmer, a Canadian actor known for his leading voice role as a pilot on the series “Thunderbirds” and appeared in multiple James Bond movies, has died. He was 89.

According to the official website of Gerry Anderson (via the Guardian), who created “Thunderbirds,” Rimmer’s widow confirmed that he died on Friday in his home. No cause of death was given.

Rimmer provided the voice of Scott Tracy in the British TV series “Thunderbirds” between 1965 and 1966, and he also starred in three different James Bond films, including “You Only Live Twice,” “Diamonds Are Forever” and “The Spy Who Loved Me.” He also appeared in the “Superman” films, “Gandhi,” “Dr. Strangelove,” “Out of Africa” and even had an uncredited part in “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.” He appeared in over 100 films in all.

British director Lewis Gilbert, director of three classic James Bond movies, has died at the age of 97. Gilbert got his start as a child actor in 1933 in Dick Turpin and eventually made himself into an accomplished director. During the course of his long career, Gilbert amassed more than 40 credits. Gilbert was remembered by the official James Bond Twitter account following the news of his death.

"British director, producer and screenwriter Lewis Gilbert has passed away at the age of 97. Gilbert directed three Bond films; You Only Live Twice (1967), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979). Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time."

Lewis Gilbert had been working as a director for more than two decades before tackling his first movie in the James Bond franchise, which came in the form of 1967's You Only Live Twice. The movie is significant, as it was the last of Sean Connery...

Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, produced by Peter Jackson, saw its North American premiere last week when it closed this year's edition of the AFI Fest. Though it won't open wide in the States until December 21, when it goes up against David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and, a few days later, Spielberg's own War Horse — as Michael Cieply reports in the New York Times, it's going to be "a hot and crowded holiday at the box office" — it's been dominating 40-some-odd other markets since it began rolling out a little over two weeks ago. I thought we'd quickly check in on how things have been going for Tintin since our first roundup sort of petered out and lost interest a few days after the world premiere in Brussels.

Taking Back Sunday's last album was titled New Again, a rather appropriate handle for several reasons, chiefly because they just had replaced singer/guitarist Fred Mascherino with new axeman Matt Fazzi (but also because, over the course of a decade, TBS had shed something like five different members).

So one has to wonder what their next album will be called, because — to the delight of many — they've mended fences with former members John Nolan and Shaun Cooper (and parted ways with Fazzi and bassist Matt Rubano), bringing the band back to their 2002 Tell All Your Friends heyday. Perhaps Old Again?

"Well, having John and Shaun back in the band has nothing to do with any of the old records — it has everything to do with being happy and...
