Meet the Final 3 Contenders for James Bond After Jacob Elordi Is Cut From Amazon's 007 Casting

Jack Lowden is among those who have received offers for screen tests. And it’s not hard to imagine him as James Bond. You ask why? Have you seen him with a beard? He has that dreamboat look and the ability to play someone with charm, confidence, and a pragmatic side, all qualities associated with Bond.

Another name insiders revealed to Deadline as having received an offer is Callum Turner. He is not only a good husband to Dua Lipa but also a very good actor with range. From period dramas to espionage thrillers and rom-coms, he has shown that he can handle different genres with ease. So, if he ultimately becomes James Bond, he could make the role look like it was made for him.

Josh O'Connor is one of four reported finalists in the running to become the next James Bond. If Amazon wants brains over brawn, O'Connor could be the man. The Emmy winner has earned himself a reputation in Hollywood for playing complex characters. Yes, give us a very subtle, very brilliant Bond!

There’s no doubt that Jacob Elordi was one of the most popular fan choices to become the next James Bond, and he was reportedly approached for a screen test. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, he is not participating in the final auditions and is therefore out of contention for the role. The reason behind his absence has yet to be revealed, and Amazon MGM Studios is keeping tight-lipped for now. But then again, nothing is official yet, so take these reports with a grain of salt.
