James Bond Reboot: Latest Update On Who Auditioned For The Role
Amazon MGM Studios has taken over the creative rights of the James Bond film franchise through a joint venture deal with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. While Denis Villeneuve is going to direct the movie, Steven Knight (popularly known for Peaky Blinders) will be writing the script. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, a close source to the production reported that Scott Rose-Marsh, a 37-year-old redhead actor, has auditioned for the role.

Based on the source’s information, he was “brought in sometime in late June to read sides from 1995’s GoldenEye,” for the director Denis Villeneuve. The source further shared that he might also have tackled pages from the script Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is said to be whipping up for Bond 26. Whatever the material, the source claimed Rose-Marsh was given just one piece of direction before the test cameras rolled: Don’t impersonate a previous Bond. If Rose-March did indeed test, it torpedoes one widely held theory swirling around the film — that Amazon, which purchased the 007 franchise for a reported $1 billion this year, is looking to reboot with a 20-something Bond to lure younger audiences.

Who Is Scott Rose-Marsh?
The 37-year-old British redhead actor is known for his multiple appearances as Pete in S4C’s Yr Amgueddfa, as Jerome in the BBC One series Chloe. He has also featured in Outlaws. Scott Rose-Marsh’s filmography also includes 2021’s Code of Silence and 2022’s Wolves of War. Now, whether he will be the right fit for James Bond or not, only time can tell.
