Louis Partridge Rumored as Next James Bond

The U.S. trade magazine Variety has circulated a rumor that 23‑year‑old British actor Louis Partridge is being considered as a possible successor to Daniel Craig in the James Bond franchise. Partridge, who rose to fame with the 2020 Netflix film Enola Holmes and currently leads the Netflix series House of Guinness, would become the youngest actor ever to play 007 if cast.

The speculation appears alongside other names floated for the role, including fellow Britons Henry Ashton, Callum Turner and Aaron Taylor‑Johnson. Variety noted Partridge’s recent collaboration with screenwriter Steven Knight, who is writing the upcoming Bond film. No official confirmation has been made by the franchise’s producers.
