Callum Turner has emerged as the latest frontrunner in the race to become the next James Bond, according to UK bookmaker Coral, as reported by The Telegraph. Turner is known for roles in 'Emma' (2020), the 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise, and the acclaimed miniseries 'Masters of the Air.' He currently sits ahead of other frequently mentioned contenders, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Henry Cavill.
Speculation around the future of 007 is expected to intensify until casting can officially begin, which will only happen once 'Bond 26' director Denis Villeneuve completes 'Dune: Part Three.' Production on the next installment of the long-running franchise is set to begin in 2027, with a planned release in 2028.
