It makes perfect sense for ‘worst-kept secret new Bond’ Callum Turner to be the next 007
Are signs pointing to this British actor being the next James Bond?
- British actor Callum Turner, 35, is reportedly the frontrunner to play the next James Bond, with unverified claims suggesting he has been discussing his casting.
- The rumour also suggests his fiancée, pop star Dua Lipa, could record the theme song for his debut as 007.
- The article posits Turner is a suitable candidate due to his age, existing recognition without being overly famous, physical attributes, and working-class background, aligning with previous successful Bonds.
- Denis Villeneuve is tipped to direct the next Bond film, indicating a potential shift towards a more distinctive cinematic approach for the franchise.
- Despite bookmakers favouring Turner, conflicting reports suggest Villeneuve might be seeking a younger, less known actor, and Turner himself has previously downplayed the speculation.
