Nina has been involved in the project to find the next 26th James Bond. She has worked to find the cast of the highly acclaimed HBO series Game of Thrones. However, Gold has not released a comment yet.
But a source has confirmed the news. She has also worked in the Netflix series The Crown, the five films in the Star Wars franchise, Daisy Ridley as Rey in The Force Awakens, The Martian and Conclave. She was nominated for an Oscar for her work in Hamnet in 2026, the first time the Academy honoured casting directors.
Before Nina, it was Debbie McWilliams, who helped in finding Craig, Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton.
James Bond movie: All we know about the project
The next James Bond film will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, the director of the Dune franchise. “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight is behind the script. David Heyman of the “Harry Potter” series is producing the movie with
Tanya Lapointe as executive producer of the film.
In April, during Amazon MGM Studios' presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, the studio head, Courtenay Valenti, talked about the casting process, sharing, “Now, I know you’re all wondering when we’re going to announce who’s playing James Bond.”
''Please know that we’re taking the time to do this with care and deep respect. It is the dream of a lifetime for all of us to bring audiences this next chapter, and it’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly,'' he said.
Years before auditions started, rumours had already been swirling over the next actor to be the Bond. Jacob Elordi, Callum Turner, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are among the names that have been the top contenders in the guess list of the fans.
