LONDON—The next actor to take on the mantle of Ian Fleming's beloved character James Bond has been found. EON Productions announced Wednesday that actor/comedian Pete Davidson would be stepping into the role of a sexier and more deadly 007.
Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson hosted a press event to announce the casting.
"We auditioned over a hundred actors, shot a dozen screen tests, and invested a lot of time and money into focus testing," said Wilson. "In the end, there was only one obvious choice. Pete Davidson is James Bond."
"He completely embodies the role," agreed Broccoli. "Pete is just so handsome. I think about him every night as I go to sleep."
Wilson admitted to being initially skeptical of the choice but came around when he found out Davidson had stolen Kim Kardashian from Kanye West.
"This guy keeps dating women way out of his league. There's obviously something there I'm missing. He's not that funny."
Pete Davidson arrived at the event in a white tuxedo. "What up, yeah, it's cool!" he said when asked how he was preparing for the role. "Look at me, I'm Sean Connery! Nice!"
Bond 26 has not yet been titled, though "Risico" has been rumored. It is expected to release Fall of 2025. Every character is expected to be genderfluid.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
