White House Shares Trump‑as‑Bond Image During Amazon MGM 007 Casting Search

The meme-style post turned a routine casting update into a political spectacle.

Overview

  • The White House on Saturday shared a black-and-white 007-style image of President Trump in a tuxedo with a pistol and the words 'Make America Great Again'.
  • The post referenced Amazon MGM’s announcement that auditions have begun under casting director Nina Gold, with the studio saying it will not share details during the process.
  • Deadline reported that Gold is working with director Denis Villeneuve and producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman on the search, with Steven Knight writing the film.
  • The image drew swift online ridicule, from parody posters to late-night jokes, and many noted that James Bond is a British MI6 agent.
  • Amazon MGM took creative control of the franchise in 2025, and The Independent reports the next Bond film is not expected to reach theaters until 2028.
