James Bond Confirms 3 Main Contenders After Jacob Elordi Loses Final Audition

1 week ago 19

Jacob Elordi is not going to be part of the James Bond franchise. The Frankenstein actor was heavily considered to be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig‘s exit back in 2021 with No Time to Die. However, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, it has been confirmed that the actor will not be present for the final test screening for the 007 role.

Amazon MGM Studios had no comment to say about the ordeal and instead reiterated its previous statements that “The search for the next James Bond is underway.” Well, this leaves only three other actors in the race for James Bond.

Jack Lowden, Callum Turner and Josh O’Connor Are The Final James Bond Contenders

Callum Turner, who starred in the rom-com One Night Only, will be joining Slow Horses star Jack Lowden for the final screen tests, which are taking place in London this weekend. Alongside the two stars, Josh O’Connor, who recently found fame with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and Challengers, will also be contending for the coveted role of James Bond (via Deadline).

It remains unclear who else may be testing. However, sources close to Deadline have mentioned that at least four test offers were given out. Alongside Turner, Lowden and O’Connor, Jack O’Connell from Sinners was also allegedly in the race for James Bond. However, news around him remains uncertain as no official statements have been provided by the studio.

With the final screen tests happening this weekend, it seems that the world will finally get to see who will be taking up the mantle of James Bond after Daniel Craig. Nina Gold, who cast James Bond in the original movies, is also involved in Denis Villeneuve’s James Bond.

Naturally, the casting process will be quite rigorous due to Gold’s involvement. However, that just goes on to show how serious and dedicated Amazon MGM Studios is to upholding the legacy of James Bond.

Who do you think will be the new James Bond? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
