Tom Holland on James Bond Rumors: ‘It’s the Pinnacle of Working in Our Industry’
While Tom Holland has plenty on his plate currently, the beloved Spider-Man actor has his fair share of experience with going from one high-profile movie role to the next. After wrapping filming on the 2026 film The Odyssey, he's now filming another highly anticipated film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
And although Holland's current focus is on the latest addition to the Spider-Man series, he's been linked as an option to become the new James Bond. During a recent conversation on Scrambled with Gordon Ramsay, the 29-year-old addressed the topic.
Tom Holland Calls Playing James Bond the 'Pinnacle'
While Holland and Ramsay cooked up some (very delicious-looking) food, they discussed a broad range of topics, including the million-dollar question about Holland potentially playing the Bond role.
"Listen, there's speculation at the minute, we'll keep it to a minimum for now," Holland said of playing James Bond. "We'll get there one day."
After Ramsay stated that Holland would "love the opportunity, right?" The Spider-Man star was honest about how noteworthy and iconic it is.
"I mean, every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry," Holland said of the role. "I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I've had.
It's an interesting response from Holland, and one that highlights just how much playing the role of James Bond could mean to the popular actor. Now, whether that leads to him ultimately making the jump into playing 007 remains to be seen, but Holland certainly didn't squash the speculation.
