The search for the next James Bond continues, with producers setting a date for the next round of auditions. According to reports, casting director Nina Gold has been meeting with actors over the past several weeks, with a focus on lesser-known names.
Gold has reportedly been contacting actors with details of their August auditions, with the next film's director Denis Villeneuve calling talent directly. While names have not been given as to who exactly has been tapped, Callum Turner, Jacob Elordi, and Harris Dickinson have been rumoured to be in the running for the iconic role.
George Clooney has thrown his support behind Turner, calling him 'the perfect guy to do' the role. Turner, who has been linked to the franchise since earlier this year, has responded to the speculation, saying that he finds the rumour mill around the franchise to be 'amusing'.
The last James Bond film, No Time To Die, was released in 2021, with Daniel Craig bringing the character to life over nearly two decades. With Gold being confirmed as the next film's casting director in May, we seem closer than ever to getting a new 007.
