Tom Holland has admitted playing James Bond would be the "pinnacle" of his career. The Spider-Man star is said to be in the frame to portray the suave spy in Denis Villeneuve's upcoming movie in the franchise and while the 29-year-old actor refused to be drawn on the speculation,

The upcoming take on James Bond will have Dune director Denis Villeneuve at the helm, and has just found its writer in Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. The famous spy has switched over to Amazon MGM Studios, which is currently in the process of casting the next James Bond.

Tom Holland says James Bond casting rumors are just "speculation" but the role of 007 is the "pinnacle" for any British actor.

Speculation has emerged amongst James Bond enthusiasts that one of cinema's most famous faces may become a Bond Villain, as Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is confirmed as the franchise's new screenwriter.

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight will write the forthcoming James Bond film, Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed. The movie, which will be directed by Dune's Denis Villeneuve, is currently in development and being overseen by the studio after long-serving masterminds Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson stood down in February.

The next film in the long-running James Bond series has finally found its screenwriter, and Peaky Blinders fans couldn't be happier with the choice.
