LONDON — Callum Turner, Jack Lowden and Josh O'Connor are reportedly among the actors undergoing final auditions to become the next James Bond. Screen tests scheduled for this weekend will assess stunts, camera presence and dialogue.

Between three and five actors are believed to be finalists to replace Daniel Craig, who portrayed Agent 007 in five films.

The next Bond film, potentially arriving in 2028, will be directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Steven Knight. No date has been confirmed for announcing the new Bond.
