Ewan Mitchell reportedly eyed for James Bond villain role

Ewan Mitchell, known for his role as Aemond Targaryen in HBO’s ‘House of the Dragon’, is reportedly being considered for a villainous role in the upcoming James Bond film, tentatively titled ‘Bond 26’.

Following Amazon’s acquisition of the franchise in February 2025, producers are reportedly seeking a younger, up-and-coming cast. Sources suggest Mitchell is an ideal candidate due to his distinct look and rising profile, offering a fresh alternative to more established actors.

The next installment is expected to be directed by Denis Villeneuve, with Steven Knight involved in writing. While casting for the lead role of James Bond remains a subject of intense speculation, Jack Lowden has been cited as a favorite, alongside other contenders such as Jack Barton and Callum Turner.
