New James Bond Casting Rumors and Paul Walker’s Return

In this edition of Nina’s What’s Trending, we break down the leaked shortlist for the next James Bond and reveal big news from the Fast & Furious franchise.

A new Amazon "wishlist" for the next James Bond actor reportedly features three young stars under 30: Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson. While Holland is a fan favorite, some insiders worry audiences won’t be able to separate him from his Spider-Man role. Jacob Elordi (Euphoria) and Harris Dickinson (Where the Crawdads Sing, Triangle of Sadness) are also rumored, but fans have mixed reactions to these choices. Get more details from The Direct and Variety.

Meanwhile, the final Fast & Furious film is set to bring back Paul Walker’s character, Brian O'Conner, using AI and body doubles from his brothers, Cody and Caleb Walker. This move aims to give fans a proper closure to Brian's storyline, years after Paul Walker's tragic passing in 2013. Learn more from Entertainment Weekly and Collider.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Nina's what's trending? So Amazon's wish lists
for Bond James Bond waste I thought you had a stroke.
My voice is very horse for a wedding this weekends.
I'm taking advantage of her. Amazon's I'm slurring words okay,

(00:21):
but has leaked and there are three actors that are
on the list, all under the age of thirty. Tom
Holland is being one of them. But they're afraid that
people might not be able to Now I'm not okay,
people might not lacking. Right before we did this, Brad's like,
are you gonna be okay? It's like, I'm gonna say

(00:44):
I got this. She went, oh, rotch, I'll turn it on.
When the mics turned on, they started to.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Anyway, The issue with Tom Holland is that they think
that people night not my mo.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
People might not be able to separate him from Spider Man.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Is that what you're trying to say? He has not?
Yeah that Peter Parker, Okay, Spider Man. The other one
is Jacob ELORDI Oh, I like that one.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Actually I do too, but not for James Bond. Really,
I like Tom Holland more.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, Tom Holland's a non starter. That doesn't make any sense.
I don't think it makes sense either.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
You think Jacob ELORDI more.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Though, Yeah, I don't even know who that is. So No,
the guy from you for you? Okay, so I think so.
But then this is an interesting one too. Harris Dickinson.
So you probably don't recognize that name. And if you do,
good for you. He was the guy that was in
the movie Baby Girl with Nicole Kid. He does not
look like Harris Dickinson.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Harris, No, he's the guy. I can't ever watch that movie.
I can't drink milk the same because of that movie.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
It's just I don't know. It was kind of hot.
I thought it was kind of hot.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah. I don't like any of those options.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Either of these are bad options. Again, I'm here for
Jacob Elorio. It's a guy from Bridgerton. What's his name?
Jacob was the guy that played Elvis. Oh. Then definitely
not James Bond, Right.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
He's not James Bond you're talking about. He's coming out in.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
The new there's a reason why he's a classic movie
the guy from No jameson one page, right or no,
the guy that's like the main the dude, yes, from
Season guy, even from Wicked, Jonathan Bailey him. No, guys,
I know exactly who you're talking about, and I can't
think of his name right now, But yes, you're correct,

(02:34):
and I think that there was a reason. Yes, I like.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Him better than all the options theaters gave.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Me me too. He's not on the list, but again,
I think there was a reason why he wasn't. I
think we talked about this like he was busy here
or does he have another probably going on? Sorry I
do that was the list that leaked another movie new

(03:00):
like any of those.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Ah, that's kind of sad.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, James Bond's a full grown adult. Let's act like it.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Well.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
The reason why they want him to be under the
age of thirty so that whoever it is going can
hang on for a while. Don't think it doesn't matter.
They've tried this before. It doesn't work, they don't do it,
they get exhausted by the role. Well, let's just not
be mad at him yet, because we don't know if
this person can turn it on and make it happen.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
But you can also pick someone there's other actors under
the age of thirty that can go for the role.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
I can't think when is Peter is going to get
his shot at it? Yes, that's my big question. I
was thinking about that as well of Thrones man can't
see past it. But anyway, the other news movie news
that I have that will just move on to real
fast is that the final Fast and the Furious movie
is going to be bringing Paul Walker's character back.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I saw that he's his brother again.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yep. So they're bringing back to to close the Brian storyline,
which was his name in the movie when he was
in it, Brian Spilner. Yeah. So they have his brothers,
Cody and Caleb are both coming back to help, and
they're using some scenes from the last movie that he
was in to use AI to like stick them. There
is that kind of creepy I do always creeps me out.

(04:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I like the idea of like the brothers coming on
to close a story for like a character that's so
like loved like it. I don't know. I feels like
like wholesome to like bring the brothers in, like if
you're gonna do it at all, that's.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
What they did last time. Yeah, so last time when
he had passed away that the Brothers. Basically was the
body double, and then they regenerated his face to be
closer to Paul Walker. But now with AI the way
it is, it could probably.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Create it, yeah, because you could kind of tell last time.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah you could. Yeah, but it is really so emotional,
probably for his daughter to like watch that.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
She probably just doesn't watch it. I wouldn't be I
would not watch that.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I don't know. That's hard to watch in her bank account. Okay,
getting fat, that's what's trending.
