The race to replace Daniel Craig in James Bond’s role is said to have entered the final phase.
According to foreign media reports, the candidate list has narrowed to three actors, among them Caumum Turner and Jack Lowden, while third candidate identity has not been disclosed.
Final tests before the cameras are expected to take place this weekend, while official announcement may come in the coming days or weeks, writes DailyMail.
Jacob Elord, known by Saltburn, reportedly will not participate in this audition phase.
Callum Turner, 36, has long been mentioned as one of the main candidates for the role of agent 007.
The actor, who is married to singer Dou Lipa, has become known for his roles in the Fantastic Beats and other film projects. However, claims that he has already won the role have not been officially confirmed.
The contest also mentions Jack Lowden, known for his performance in the Slow Horse series. His associate Gary Oldman has hinted that the selection may have been made, but without official notice.
Even host Richard Osman has said that Lowden’s name has been mentioned as candidate, assessing his skills in acting, humor and action.
James Bond’s role was held by Daniel Craig until No Time to Die, published in 2021.
Since then, fans expect to learn who will be the next actor to perform the famous British spy. So far, no name has been officially confirmed. /Telegraphy/
