Callum Turner is trending, but this time not for his romantic moments with his girlfriend and singer Dua Lipa, but because the British actor is among the candidates to become the new James Bond.
According to Deadline, Amazon MGM Studios will begin screen tests this Friday to choose the actor who will replace Daniel Craig, whose last appearance as the famous MI6 agent was in 2021 with the movie No Time to Die.
The studio has called four actors to conduct the tests, although so far only three names have been revealed: Callum Turner, Josh O'Connor, and Jack Lowden.
The new film will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, who will release Dune 3 at the end of this year, while Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders, wrote the script.
