November 6th 2024.
There's a new singer making waves in the music scene, and she's ready to take on a big challenge - singing the James Bond theme song. As anticipation builds for the next James Bond film, rumors are flying about who will have the honor of singing the iconic theme song. And surprisingly, a popular American pop star has emerged as a top contender for the job.
The James Bond franchise has a long history of featuring award-winning songs from some of the biggest names in the industry. From Madonna's "Die Another Day" in 2002 to Adele's chart-topping "Skyfall" and Billie Eilish's Oscar-winning "No Time To Die," the series has produced a slew of iconic theme tunes over the years. And let's not forget the likes of Nancy Sinatra, Sam Smith, Sir Paul McCartney, and Sir Tom Jones.
Now, another talented artist is joining the mix - lesbian pop icon Chappell Roan, who skyrocketed to fame in 2024. Her surprise new single on SNL last Saturday has solidified her popularity, and bookmakers have even dropped her odds to 2/1, putting her at the top of the leaderboard.
According to Lee Astley, spokesperson for BetIdeas.com, Chappell Roan is outpacing other contenders like Lana Del Rey and Dua Lipa. While the "Good Luck Babe" singer has never expressed interest in singing the Bond theme song, some fans are excited about the possibility. One fan even tweeted, "Never needed a woman James Bond before but maybe we deserve one so Chappell Roan can do the theme song...I feel like it would rock."
At just 26 years old, Chappell Roan has already shown off her impressive vocal skills and musical range. From country anthems to club hits to touching ballads, her music has a special quality that could make for a perfect Bond hit. However, she's not the only one in the running for the coveted gig.
Other potential picks include global pop star Taylor Swift, who has been dominating the charts and recently won seven awards at the VMAs. And Lana Del Rey has even written a song for James Bond in the past, although it was rejected in favor of another artist. But with her talent and determination, she may have a shot at singing the theme song for the next film.
Of course, the theme song is just one of many mysteries surrounding the upcoming 26th Bond movie. The franchise has yet to announce the lead star to replace Daniel Craig, the director, or any plot details. According to BetIdeas.com, the Barbie director is currently at the top of the list for the next filmmaker, followed by Edward Berger from Conclave.
As for the question on everyone's mind - who will play the next 007 - nothing has been confirmed yet. While queer star Daniel has made it clear that he doesn't care who takes on the role, there are plenty of talented actors vying for the job. Names like Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Callum Turner, and Rege-Jean Page are high up on the list of desired stars. And even actresses like Saoirse Ronan are expressing interest in joining the franchise, with Ronan stating, "I'd love to do something big and shiny."
With so much excitement and speculation surrounding the next James Bond film, one thing is for sure - fans can't wait to see who will take on the iconic theme song and who will ultimately become the next 007.
