Callum Turner, Jack Lowden, and Josh O’Connor will all apparently be doing their final screen tests to play 007 in the next week.

The search for the next James Bond is heating up as four finalists have made it to the final round, The Wrap has learned.

James Bond is out, and a new special agent takes his place in a new 007 release coming this month.

James Bond’s casting search reaches its final stage, with Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, and Josh O’Connor reportedly among the actors testing.

In addition to all those upcoming projects, IDW Publishing, perhaps best known for its long-running Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters series, will release a new Bond comic book series titled Sunbreaker from Grant Morrison.

The latest rumors name Callum Turner, Jack Lowden, Josh O’Connor, Jack O’Connell, and Jacob Elordi.

Richard Madden has emerged as a shock contender to become the next James Bond as his odds are suddenly slashed by the bookies. The Scottish actor, 40, shot to fame playing Robb Stark in the HBO fantasy drama series Game of Thrones.

The James Bond franchise has officially entered a new era, which started earlier this year with the arrival of IO Interactive’s 007 First Light (2026). The game stars Patrick Gibson ( Dexter: Original Sin) as a younger Bond who must earn his place as the legendary spy also known as 007.

Daniel Craig offered a unique portrayal of James Bond that will be difficult to emulate, but the next Bond actor will have to do more than that.
