UK Press: Callum Turner Is New James Bond?

The report says Denis Villeneuve will direct Bond 26 and Dua Lipa could sing the theme, but Amazon MGM Studios has not confirmed the casting.

  • On Monday, UK entertainment outlet Showbiz411 reported that British actor Callum Turner has landed the role of the next James Bond, describing the rumor as strong.
  • Amazon MGM Studios, led by producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, has been managing the search to replace Daniel Craig as the iconic spy.
  • Multiple actors including Jack Lowden and Josh O'Connor reportedly participated in screen tests for the 007 role alongside Turner earlier this year.
  • The studio has yet to issue a formal confirmation, and Turner's exit from his production company occurred well before any Bond auditions took place.
  • Director Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders, are attached to Bond 26, marking a new creative era for the franchise.
