It’s been a long (very, very long) time without 007. Since Daniel Craig’s epic ending in No Time to Die and Amazon Prime Video‘s purchase of the franchise, this is the longest period in history we’ve gone without a person like James Bond. However, things seem to be settling down and one name keeps coming up more than any other: Turner. Callum Turner.
Shaken, not stirred
Social media is practically taking it as a given because Turner has stepped down from his post as CEO of Twentytwo FIlms, a production company he started with Dua Lipa, his wife… who many believe will sing the theme for the new James Bond, whenever it arrives. We know for sure he’s one of the four front-runners, but now all the pieces are starting to fall into place.
In fact, Pierce Brosnan himself has already said that if Turner is the next Bond, he’ll be more than happy about it. “Right now I’m just a member of the audience who wants to know who’s going to do this epic role. All the men on this list are actors I admire. I’ve worked with Callum Turner and he’s so strong. They all have voice, physique and presence on screen. They all have longevity as actors”.
Brosnan even has advice for whoever gets the role: “I wish him the best in life, strength and courage. It’s hard to know who it’ll be, but I’m really looking forward to hearing the news and the unveiling of the next James Bond“. Callum, warm up (the gun), you’re up.
