Rumors are swirling that Callum Turner may be stepping into the iconic role of 007.
A swirl of speculation has surfaced around the next 007, with a Dutch publication asserting that a new face has already secured the part.
Industry insiders remain cautious, though anticipation is rising as fans await an official word from the studio.
Rumours intensify
Dutch celebrity weekly Privé reported that Callum Turner has allegedly finalized a contract to become the next James Bond, citing unnamed individuals said to be familiar with the production.
The magazine also claimed that MGM and Amazon are preparing a full-scale announcement rather than a brief post on social media.
Turner, known for playing Theseus Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, has also appeared in Masters of the Air as John Egan and held a supporting role in the Assassin’s Creed film adaptation.
Those credits have helped solidify his profile in Hollywood, though he remains far from a household name.
Rising contender
Privé’s report contrasts with earlier speculation reported by various outlets that linked higher-profile actors to the role, including Idris Elba, Tom Holland and Henry Cavill.
Those names, long associated with blockbuster leads, would come with substantially larger salaries than Turner commands at this stage of his career.
For some observers, that discrepancy raises doubts about the latest claim.
The idea that such a major casting decision would surface first in a Dutch gossip title has prompted skepticism among fans and analysts alike.
Waiting for clarity
Privé has misfired on entertainment scoops before, a point industry watchers often raise when assessing its reliability.
Without confirmation from MGM or Amazon, Turner’s alleged casting remains unverified.
Studio representatives have so far stayed silent, leaving the Bond community in suspense.
While speculation continues, the wider 007 universe remains active.
IO Interactive is developing a new James Bond video game, portions of which were shown privately at the Gamescom trade show, where select media outlets previewed early gameplay.
