Will SHE be the next "Bond" girl?

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, renowned for his role in 'Kick-Ass' is rumored to be the next "James Bond." However, the speculation doesn't end with the identity of the next super spy; there's also intense interest in who might capture the agent's heart as a "Bond" girl.

According to an insider speaking to the 'Daily Mail', Barbara Broccoli, the executive producer of the "Bond" series, has her sights set on 'Euphoria' stars Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya for the role. The final decision on the "Bond" girl could hinge on the director.

"Sydney Sweeney has been discussed," the insider revealed. However, whether Denis Villeneuve, known for his work on 'Dune' and 'Blade Runner,' signs on as director may play a crucial role. Villeneuve has previously collaborated with Zendaya, potentially bolstering her chances.

Barbara Broccoli is reportedly pushing hard for Denis Villeneuve to helm the "James Bond" remake, despite his busy schedule. "If he doesn't do the next one, they will keep asking him to direct future instalments," the insider explained. Villeneuve's artistic vision and expertise seem to align perfectly with Broccoli's vision for the series' new direction.
