The hunt for the next James Bond will reportedly reach its final stages this weekend as screen tests for the role will be held in London.

One Night Only star Callum Turner, Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden and The Crown’s Josh O’Connor are in the mix for the screen tests, which could begin as early as Friday, according to Deadline.

It is said there will be three components to the screen tests: stunts, camera presence and dialogue.

The actor chosen will replace Daniel Craig, who took over the role of Bond with Casino Royale (2006) and bowed out after his fifth film, No Time To Die (2021).

Amy Pascal, who will produce the next Bond film, told Deadline earlier this year about casting: “I would say (an announcement by) the end of the year is a good bet.

“We are being really, really methodical. Having worked with (producer) Barbara Broccoli at the studio, I mean, Daniel Craig is a hard act to follow.

“And it’s got to be something really different that is stirring, exciting and different.”

Representatives for Turner, Lowden, O’Connor and Amazon Studios have been contacted for comment.
