Patrick Gibson is at the center of speculation as fans online are convinced he voices the younger James Bond in 007: First Light, the upcoming game from Amazon and developer Amazon Games. The first trailer for the game, released on July 7, features a youthful take on the iconic MI6 agent, prompting a flurry of online theories around the actor behind the voice and character model.
While the developers have not officially revealed the voice cast, several fans claim that the voice and mannerisms are “100% Patrick Gibson.” Gibson recently gained attention for his portrayal of young Dexter Morgan in Dexter: Original Sin, and viewers are pointing to the similarities in tone, delivery, and overall demeanor between the two roles. Others also cite his past work in The OA and Shadow and Bone as evidence of his ability to portray a layered and complex protagonist.
