Who will be the new 007? Rumor mill about the three remaining candidates is in full swing

The search for the next James Bond continues with three main candidates: Callum Turner, Jack Lowden, and Josh O’Connor. Speculation is rife as former Bond actor Pierce Brosnan and Gary Oldman endorse Turner and Lowden, respectively. The next Bond film is not expected until 2028, marking a seven-year gap since the last installment. The creative control of the franchise has shifted following Amazon's acquisition of MGM. The new Bond actor will need to balance action and character depth, with Turner and Lowden seen as strong contenders due to their recent performances. O’Connor, while talented, may not fit the desired tone for the next Bond.
