Final James Bond screen tests to take place this weekend, reports say
Callum Turner and Jack Lowden "appear to be in the mix" of actors doing screen tests for the role.
Final James Bond screen tests are set to take place this weekend, according to reports from the Hollywood Reporter. Callum Turner, Jack Lowden, and Josh O'Connor are among the actors believed to be participating in the auditions, which may begin as early as Friday. The process involves three components: stunts, camera presence, and dialogue.
Earlier, the screen tests were scheduled for early October but were delayed due to scheduling conflicts. Previously connected actors like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, James Norton, and Paul Mescal have also been linked to the role. Sources indicate that at least four final screen test offers have been made, with Turner, Lowden, and O'Connor being the expected participants.
The casting process aims to find an actor who can bring a fresh perspective to the iconic role, following Daniel Craig's departure. The next James Bond film, directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Steven Knight, is set to release in 2028.
