Sydney Sweeney, 28, has reignited rumors of joining the James Bond franchise after a cryptic interview with Variety. When asked about being cast as the next Bond girl, she coyly replied, “I can’t,” before adding, “I don’t know… I’ve always been a huge fan of the franchise.” Her playful deflection has fans convinced she’s in talks for a major role in the upcoming 26th Bond film.
Backed by Bezos and Bond Insiders
The speculation isn’t unfounded. Sydney reportedly has the backing of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, whose company now holds creative control over the Bond franchise. She even attended Bezos’ summer wedding in Venice, further fueling rumors. Sources say director Denis Villeneuve, a close friend of Sydney’s, is keen to cast her, citing her talent, athleticism, and appeal to younger audiences.
“I’d Have More Fun as James Bond”
Pressed on whether she’d want the role, Sydney teased, “Depends on the script. I think I’d have more fun as James Bond.” The comment, half-joking and half-bold, has sparked conversations about a modern twist on the franchise — could Sydney be more than just a Bond girl?

While Bond rumors swirl, Sydney is also preparing to launch her own lingerie line. Known for her sultry photoshoots and confident style, she’s turning her signature look into a business. The line is backed by Ben Schwerin of Coatue, a private equity firm recently funded with $1 billion from Bezos and Michael Dell.
Business Meets Stardom
Sydney’s lingerie brand is expected to reflect her bold, feminine aesthetic — blending fashion with empowerment. Her move into entrepreneurship marks a strategic expansion of her brand, aligning with her rising star power in Hollywood and beyond.
