Robert Pattinson, Nicholas Hoult film James Bond auditions?

Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult reportedly filmed screen tests last weekend in the race to become the next James Bond.

After many months of speculation, an announcement on the next 007 is thought to be imminent after screen tests with all of those in contention were completed over the weekend of October 24-25.

Callum Turner, Josh O’Connor and Jack Lowden were already widely known to be among those on the final shortlist, and now The Hollywood Reporter says that Pattinson and Hoult are also part of an all-British final five.

Slow Horses star Lowden remains the bookies’ favourite to succeed Daniel Craig, who bowed out as the spy in 2021’s No Time To Die.

Since then Amazon has gained the rights to the iconic franchise and is planning to get filming underway next year ahead of an expected release in 2028.
