‘007 First Light’ Launch Trailer Re-Imagines James Bond’s Origin Story!! Check It Out!!

James Bond fans were hoping for big news out of CinemaCon in Las Vegas last month, but it was a bit of a disappointment when Amazon didn’t confirm any new cast members or details about the Bond film in development. Very little is known about the next 007 movie in the works at Amazon right now, other than that Denis Villeneuve (Dune) is directing with a script from Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders). While some fans have claimed big A-list stars like Henry Cavill or Idris Elba would be perfect to take over the mantle of 007, this potential casting has been repeatedly debunked, with reports indicating that Amazon is looking for a much younger actor with the legs to carry the franchise for years to come. Casting director Nina Gold has confirmed that the new Bond actor needs to “ooze sex appeal,” but that’s all we know at this time.

Fans nervous for more James Bond content don’t have to wait long, though, which is good news considering Villeneuve’s Bond movie may not come out until 2028 or 2029. Game developer IO Interactive has been working on 007 First Light, a new AAA James Bond title, for quite a while now. After years of development, the release of 007 First Light is now right around the corner, as the game will launch worldwide on May 27, or May 26 for those who pre-order. This afternoon, IO Interactive released the official launch trailer for 007 First Light, which is confirmed to be the game’s final trailer. Fans were treated to the official gameplay trailer not long ago, which showed off the duality of ways to tackle each mission. Last week, IO released a fresh trailer centering around Bond’s companion in the game, John Greenway, who will be voiced by long-time Walking Dead actor Lennie James.

What Is the New James Bond Game About?

Plot details about the new James Bond title are still being held under wraps, but it has been confirmed to follow a young Bond, fresh out of the MI6 academy and eager to make a name for himself. Fans can expect to see a game that’s similar in tone to Casino Royale than any of Daniel Craig’s other James Bond movies. Starring in the lead role of James Bond in 007 First Light is Patrick Gibson, who recently played a young Dexter Morgan in the Paramount Plus prequel, Dexter: Original Sin, which was canceled after one season.
