Recent reports of Robert Pattinson’s screen test and more favorable contract terms have driven his market-implied odds to the lead in the next James Bond race. Industry sources indicate Amazon MGM offered the Batman star a three-film commitment at a higher fee than the four-film deals extended to other finalists, signaling studio interest in established star power for the Denis Villeneuve-directed project. Callum Turner and Jack Lowden, who joined Josh O’Connor and Nicholas Hoult in late-October screen tests covering stunts, dialogue, and camera presence, retain solid trader consensus amid earlier bookmaking momentum and public endorsements. With a decision expected before year-end, the market reflects uncertainty over whether producers will favor Pattinson’s global profile or opt for a less prominent British actor.
