Variety reports that Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult have participated in screen tests for the next James Bond movie, slated for release in 2028 and directed by Denis Villeneuve.
Variety has reported that Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult are among the actors who have recently screen-tested for the role of James Bond in the next 007 film. The project, being developed by Amazon MGM Studios, is scheduled for a 2028 release and will be directed by Denis Villeneuve.
Other names that have been linked to the casting search include Callum Turner, Jack Lowden, Josh O’Connor, Harry Styles and Theo James, according to the same source. Amazon declined to comment when contacted by email.
The previous Bond, Daniel Craig, stepped down after "No Time To Die" (2021). Former Bond actor Pierce Brosnan said he admires the current pool of candidates and highlighted Turner’s strength, telling Vanity Fair that he is "just an audience member" eager to see who will be chosen.
