For yeeeears now, fans have been wondering which Hollywood hottie would become the next James Bond , with dozens of actors rumored to be in the mix. Rumored Bonds have, at one point or another, included (*takes deep breath*) James Norton, Jack Barton , Jacob Elordi, Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Paul Mescal, Harrison Dickinson, Regé-Jean Page, Jonathan Bailey, Aaron Pierre, Damson Idris, Dev Patel, and Jack O’Connell…but there are now (reportedly!) just two actors still in the running.
According to The Hollywood Reporter , “several sources” have confirmed that final screen tests for Amazon MGM’s Bond 26 (to be directed by Denis Villeneuve) are taking place in London this weekend…and (again, reportedly) the role will either go to Callum Turner or Jack Lowden, aka Mr. Dua Lipa or Mr. Saoirse Ronan.
