James Bond [Confirmed]: Tests With Jack Lowden & Callum Turner

The final James Bond screen tests are currently underway this week, featuring Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, and Josh O'Connor among a shortlist of four candidates, according to IGN Articles, with additional rumors about a fourth mystery actor, while Jacob Elordi has been definitively ruled out. Both Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter confirm that the actors will be evaluated on stunt work, dialogue delivery, and on‑camera presence, with the results expected to be announced by late November. The shortlist narrows the field dramatically, eliminating long‑standing fan favorites such as Henry Cavill and Tom Hardy. Industry insiders suggest the casting outcome could drive cross‑promotional opportunities with upcoming video‑game tie‑ins, especially for titles planning Bond‑themed DLCs.
