James Bond films have long held a special place among cinema audiences, with the iconic spy role previously portrayed by Roger Moore, Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
Work on the next instalment is now in its early stages. Filmmaker Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the upcoming Bond film for Amazon, while Peaky Blinders writer Steven Knight is writing the screenplay.
The makers are planning to introduce a new actor as James Bond. Casting has begun, with screen tests and auditions underway.
According to reports, candidates are being assessed on three key areas: action performance, on-camera presence and dialogue delivery.
While several names have been discussed, sources say Callum Turner is currently seen as a frontrunner. Jack Lowden, Jacob Elordi, Henry Cavill, Johnson and Harris Dickinson are also said to be under consideration.
