Summary
Robert Pattinson, 40, has screen tested for James Bond, with the audition taking place during the weekend of Oct. 24, according to multiple sources.
The test puts Pattinson into a field that includes Callum Turner, Jack Lowden, Josh O’Connor and now Nicholas Hoult as Amazon searches for Daniel Craig’s successor.
Pattinson’s emergence breaks with long-held expectations that Bond would go to a less globally famous actor, given his status as Batman and one of his generation’s biggest stars.
Amazon is overseeing the first Bond film since taking creative control from the Broccoli family in February 2025, with Amy Pascal and David Heyman producing.
The casting hunt comes 21 years after Craig was chosen in 2005; he exited after five films, ending with 2021’s No Time to Die.
