Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor is reportedly in talks for a role in the next James Bond film, which is speculated to be directed by Hollywood's Michael Bay. Bay is known for his work on the Transformers and Bad Boys franchises. According to reports, initial talks have begun between Kapoor and the makers of the upcoming Bond movie, which is scheduled to go on floors in June 2025 with a new cast. Kapoor may have a major role in the film, although none of this has been officially confirmed.
The upcoming Bond film is rumored to be a complete reboot, possibly set in the 1950s or 1960s, with the youngest James Bond ever. Ana de Armas is also expected to reprise her popular No Time to Die character, Paloma, while British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor is rumored to join the cast. Ranbir's possible casting in the new Bond film is said to be due to his charm, looks, and acting skills, which would make him a great fit for the role.
If Ranbir's Bond film pans out, it would be his Hollywood debut. However, he is already committed to several Bollywood projects, including Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, where he will play the role of Lord Ram. The film is expected to be released in two parts, one in 2026 and another in 2027. Ranbir Kapoor is also set to star in Love & War, helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.
Kapoor's potential casting in the Bond film has generated significant buzz, with fans eagerly awaiting official confirmation. While the rumors surrounding the film's cast and plot continue to swirl, one thing is certain: Ranbir Kapoor's Hollywood debut would be a major milestone in his career, marking his entry into the global film industry.
