Named several candidates for the role of James Bond

British actor Robert Pattinson, known for the films “Twilight” and “Batman”, was among the main contenders for the role of 007. According to foreign media, the actor has already passed screen tests for the role of the legendary spy. Together with him, Nicholas Holt, familiar to the audience from the films Mad Max and Superman, participated in the selection. Interestingly, a few years ago, Holt competed with Pattinson for the role of Batman, but then lost to him.

The director of the new James Bond film will be Denis Villeneuve, who directed Dune and Blade Runner 2049. Other candidates include Callum Turner, Jack Louden and Josh O’Connor.

A final decision has not yet been made, and Amazon MGM has not commented on the casting results. According to journalists, the name of the new agent 007 may be announced in the near future.
