“Final James Bond Screen Tests Underway: Jack Lowden, Callum Turner Lead Shortlist” — what this page in the network covers. The search for the next James Bond is nearing its climax, with final screen tests reportedly underway. Jack Lowden and Callum Turner are among the leading contenders on the shortlist, according to multiple reports. The casting process, overseen by Eon Productions, has been one of the most closely watched in Hollywood since Daniel Craig stepped down after No Time to Die in 2021.
Lowden, known for Slow Horses and Dunkirk, and Turner, seen in Masters of the Air and The Boys in the Boat, represent a shift toward younger, classically trained British actors. Insiders say the producers are looking for someone who can carry the franchise for at least a decade, balancing charm, physicality, and dramatic depth. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
