Recent confirmation from Amazon MGM Studios that the search for the next James Bond has officially begun—with veteran casting director Nina Gold leading auditions—has kept “no actor chosen” dominant in trader sentiment. Callum Turner leads the field as the clearest frontrunner on the strength of persistent British press reports linking him to the role and his rising profile after Masters of the Air. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jacob Elordi sit further back amid rumors of early meetings with director Denis Villeneuve, though no formal offers or shortlists have surfaced. With the next film eyed for 2028, the market reflects the lengthy timeline and the absence of any decisive studio signals that would shift probabilities.
