It looks as if we won’t be getting Tom Holland as James Bond after all as the Spider-Man: Far From Home star has debunked the recent casting rumors.
During a recent interview with Extra, Tom Holland was directly asked if he was going to be the next James Bond. At first, the Spider-Man: Far From Home star played it coy, stating that he had been cast as James Bond but somehow completely forgotten about it:
It’s all true, it’s all true. I would, yeah. I’m so excited that they’ve cast me, it’s really exciting. I’m really gonna change the game, and thanks for bringing that to my attention, I forgot about it. It just slipped my mind. But yeah, I’m Bond. Mr. James Bond.
Tom Holland then went on to praise both Spider-Man and James Bond, stating that he always wanted to play both characters but was perfectly happy to just play one:
It’s funny, as a kid growing up, the two characters I’ve always wanted to play was either Spider-Man or James Bond. I’m honestly perfectly happy with just the one, I love this character more than anything, and I realize how lucky I am. But that said, I would also like to play James Bond.
Tom Holland then, however, definitely confirmed that he was not cast in James Bond and could not at this stage of his career:
I couldn’t play James Bond now, though.
