(Washington, 17th, Comprehensive Foreign Report) Amazon MGM Studios announced the start of the search for the next actor to play James Bond in the 007 film series. Subsequently, the White House shared a 007-style black and white poster on the X platform, featuring Donald Trump in a tuxedo holding a gun, with the words "Make America Great Again" and the 007 logo. According to the UK's Daily Star, the White House post sparked heated discussion among netizens. One person commented, "Good meme, and I hope America becomes great again. But when my wallet is being hit by gas prices, inflation, and another foreign conflict, I won't pretend everything is fine." Donald Trump also shared another AI-generated image over the weekend, this time as the captain of a warship in the Strait of Hormuz, breaking through waves in a storm, with the caption "The calm before the storm." He has previously posted controversial artificial intelligence (AI) images of himself as Jesus Christ and the Pope. Amazon MGM Studios has hired renowned casting director Nina Gold to lead the search for the seventh official 007 film actor, succeeding the previous James Bond, British actor Daniel Craig. The next 007 film will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, known for works such as the sci-fi film series "Dune," "Arrival," and "Sicario." Actors such as Jacob Elordi, Callum Turner, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are rumored to be top contenders for the role of Bond.
