Bosses have been hunting for the next 007 to replace Daniel Craig after he hung up his tuxedo in 2021, after No Time to Die.
No successor, as of yet, has been officially named. And so the burning question remains: who will be the next James Bond?
Last month, it was reported that final screen tests took place at Bray Studios in Berkshire, with Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, Josh O'Connor and a mystery star auditioning to be the next 007.
Callum, who married the pop star Dua Lipa earlier this year, has long been the front-runner for the role.
Scottish actor Jack, 36, is a more recent name to be thrown into the ring and Australian actor Jacob Elordi, 29, also in the running, will, no doubt, anger die-hard fans who believe Bond should be played by a Brit.
However, it has since been reported that Hollywood actors Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult – who have starred as Batman and Lex Luthor respectively for DC Studios – have both auditioned for the role of James Bond.
The Crown star Josh O'Connor, 36, was also believed to have been on the shortlist of candidates to play 007, and then a report suggested Josh had won the role after successfully negotiating the final stages of the auditions with Amazon MGM Studios.
However, it was recently revealed that Josh will not be stepping into the role of James Bond, with a source telling the Daily Mail: 'Josh has turned down the Bond role.'
The good news is that fans will not have to wait long until they find out who has secured the role, with Bond producer Amy Pascal saying in August: 'I would say the end of the year is a good bet.'
With that in mind, who would you like to see land the role of James Bond? You decide...
