In Short: Reports suggest Jacob Elordi, Jack Lowden, and Callum Turner are in the running for the iconic role, but no official announcement has been made.

Reports from BBC and Deadline indicate that Jacob Elordi, Jack Lowden, and Callum Turner are among the candidates for the role of James Bond, with Jack Lowden reportedly having been chosen by Amazon MGM Studios but awaiting an official announcement.

This news comes 21 years after the last Bond was announced, reigniting fan interest and speculation about the future of the franchise.

Gary Oldman, in an interview, claimed that the next Bond has been decided, leading to questions about whether he inadvertently revealed the identity of the new actor.

Previously, Deadline reported that Harris Dickinson, Callum Turner, and Jacob Elordi were fitting the vision of the next Bond, suggesting a narrowing of the field to these three.

Bond fans are eager for clarity, with auditions reportedly taking place in August, but no official confirmation has been given yet.

So it's inevitable for Bond fans to want to have their questions answered about the future of one of cinema's most sought after roles, in one of cinema's biggest franchises.
It’s not clear from Oldman’s comments whether he means that Lowden has been cast as Bond, or whether he is talking more generally about Amazon MGM Studios alighting on Ian Fleming’s secret agent.
Promovendo a nova temporada de Slow Horses, Oldman revelou que Lowden já teria sido escolhido como o sucessor de Daniel Craig e estaria apenas aguardando um anúncio oficial. 🫣 pic.twitter.com/gwr9oaQYiB Deadline reported over the summer that auditions were taking place for James Bond in August.
