James Bond fans believe Daniel Craig’s replacement will be much younger star as new actor’s name is thrown in the mix

James Bond fans are speculating over who will replace legendary Daniel Craig in the new 007 First Light game.

It’s been four years since Daniel Craig exploded out of the film franchise in No Time To Die.

And rumours have been swirling in recent months over who will take the British actor’s place – with fans claiming they have worked it out.

Yesterday, Bond bosses at Amazon MGM Studios unveiled the first look at a new, younger version of 007 – in an officially endorsed video game prequel. 

It follows a 26-year-old Bond straight out of the Royal Navy, as he embarks on a mission to earn his double-O.

It’s been four years since Daniel Craig exploded out of the film franchise in No Time To Die – and fans think Dexter star Patrick Gibson will replace him

It’s been announced that Patrick Gibson from Dexter: Original Sin has been cast as the voice of 007 in the new computer game.

Now, it’s left fans convinced he will play the role of Bond in the next film.

Taking to X, many Bond viewers shared their guesses as to who will replace Daniel in the movie franchise.

One person wrote: ‘Unless I’m mistaken, our new game Bond is being played by Patrick Gibson. Another Irish Bond in the bag, can’t argue with that! Also… the scar down the cheek from the books, FINALLY!!! #007FirstLight.’

Another penned: ‘So James Bond is definitely played by Patrick Gibson from Dexter Original Sin.’ 

A third added: ‘Patrick Gibson as James Bond?!? This is peak casting.’

A fourth said: ‘Is James Bond being played by Patrick Gibson Aka Young Dexter Morgan or am I seeing things?’

Familiar faces like M, Q and Moneypenny are set to appear – along with a new character, John Greenaway, a mentor figure played by Lennie James, best known for his role as Morgan in the Walking ᴅᴇᴀᴅ.

The trailer goes on to show Bond seemingly meeting Moneypenny, a young black woman with glᴀsses, before taking on target practice and then sneaking into a museum, taking down guards.

It cuts to a ruined H๏τel room, as Bond quips to a stunned maid walking in: ‘Jet lag. Gets me every time.’

He’s seen racing through tropical islands on a speedboat, and disarming thugs as fireworks go off in the background – and ends on a cliffhanger as he and Greenaway are lowered towards a pit of hungry crocodiles.

Bond wisecracks: ‘I suppose this is another teachable moment?’

British brands are featured by the boatload, from a Land Rover Discovery in the background of a fight scene to a Triumph motorbike and at least two Aston Martins – suggesting the game will be just as enrobed in British heritage as the films.

While nobody has been officially confirmed as the actor playing Bond, fans of Patrick Gibson are convinced that it is him based on the spy’s likeness, mannerisms and voice.
