Callum Turner – The NEW James Bond and What Fans Didn’t Know about him!

According to new odds from Heart Bingo, it’s thought that Dua Lipa’s fiancé Callum Turner is being lined up as the next 007.

The actor claimed the highest share of positive posts with regards to becoming the next Bond.

Following his lead are stars James Norton, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Paul Mescal and former Superman Henry Cavill.

Sarah Caskie, Head of Brand for online website Heart Bingo, said: “With the rumour mill surrounding the next James Bond continuing to turn following the announcement Amazon will be taking the reins with the franchise, we’ve turned to public opinion to find the best fit for the 007 role.

“The masses have spoken on X and we’ve collated the data to find that Callum Turner is the people’s choice to replace Daniel Craig, with 63% of posts concerning his potential role in the next film being positive, while 0% were negative.

“Henry Cavill’s 34% positivity put him second in the eyes of the public, but 3% didn’t seem too keen on him being the next Bond.

“It’s rare for someone in the spotlight to have no negative opinions about them, but that’s the case when it comes to James Norton, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Paul Mescal’s chances of playing 007.”

Most fans will recognise star Callum as Eddie Redmayne’s on-screen brother Theseus Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts series.

Callum previously dated Vanessa Kirby who rocketed to fame with her portrayal of a young Princess Margaret in Netflix’s The Crown.

He then started dating pop superstar Dua Lipa in 2024.

Massive American film star becomes favourite to be next Bond girl as she is pals with new 007 director
After a year together, The Sun revealed how Callum proposed to the Houdini singer and “they couldn’t be happier”.

It comes after Daniel Craig left his role as the iconic secret service agent.

Insiders have also told Variety that the studio and producers are interested in casting a British actor under the age of 30.

Meanwhile, a massive American film star has become the favourite to be the next Bond girl.

The White Lotus and Euphoria actress, Sydney Sweeney, 27, has the backing of Jeff Bezos, boss of Amazon — which has creative control of the blockbuster.

Sydney was pictured chatting to Villeneuve, 57, and Bond girl Ana de Armas, 37, at the Toronto Film Festival.

She was also a guest at Bezos’s recent Venice wedding.

We reported how “die hard” James Bond fan Denis Villeneuve had been appointed director ahead of the new movie.

Amazon is looking at a 2028 release date for 26th instalment.
