Amazon Reportedly Willing to Make Sacrifices to Get Robert Pattinson to Play James Bond

Amazon MGM Studios has offered Robert Pattinson more favorable contract terms for the role of James Bond than other candidates, according to Puck journalist Matthew Belloni.

Belloni reports that the studio is prepared to pay The Batman star more and offer him a three-film contract. Other candidates would have to sign on for four films if cast.

In Belloni’s view, the studio’s willingness to increase the fee and reduce the number of films indicates a particular interest in Pattinson. He believes Amazon MGM wants an established star to play its first Bond.

The studio has not announced who will replace Daniel Craig. Alongside Pattinson, Nicholas Hoult, Callum Turner, Jack Lowden and Josh O’Connor are also candidates for the role.

The next film will be the 26th in the main series and the first since Amazon MGM gained creative control of the franchise. Denis Villeneuve has been appointed director, and Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is writing the screenplay. A release date has not been announced.
