James Bond Experts Think Callum Turner Has Been Named New 007
The actor resigned as a director of Twentytwo Films Ltd as three to five candidates reach the final Bond screen tests, producers said.
- Actor Callum Turner, 36, attended screen tests at Bray Studios in Berkshire on Friday for the next James Bond role while recently resigning as director of Twentytwo Films Ltd, the production company he founded with wife Dua Lipa.
- Producers have hunted for a new 007 since Daniel Craig concluded his 15-year tenure in 2021's No Time to Die, with Amazon MGM Studios now overseeing the selection after acquiring the franchise in 2024.
- Between three and five actors reached the final stages over the weekend; Turner remains a front-runner alongside Slow Horses star Jack Lowden and The Crown actor Josh O'Connor in the competitive field.
- Producer Amy Pascal confirmed casting will conclude by year-end 2026, stating, "We are being really, really methodical," as finding Craig's successor requires careful consideration of a physically demanding, iconic role.
- Director Denis Villeneuve and Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight are leading the film's creative vision, marking the first Bond installment under Amazon's control since the studio acquired the franchise in February 2025.
