James Bond Surprise: Robert Pattinson Screen Tested to Play 007
The A-list star, already juggling the Batman franchise, teamed with Bond director Denis Villeneuve on the upcoming third 'Dune' movie.
In a surprise few saw coming, Robert Pattinson has emerged as a contender for 007. The actor, 40, is among those who have screen tested for the role of James Bond, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter, joining hopefuls Callum Turner, Jack Lowden and Josh O’Connor.
Conventional wisdom has been that the next man to get the license to kill would not be a globally recognized star like Pattinson, one of the biggest actors of his age cohort, and already the face of DC Studios’ Batman franchise. The screen tests are said to have occurred the weekend of Oct. 24. THR previously reported that four, possibly five actors were in the mix but only three names surfaced at the time.
James Bond Casting: Robert Pattinson, Nicholas Hoult Tested for 007
As James Bond casting rumors heat up, a couple more A-list actors have entered the mix: Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult were among the stars who screen-tested to play the new 007.
Both British actors certainly have the acting pedigree to play the suave spy, taking up the mantle after Daniel Craig’s 15-year run. They also have a keen awareness of what it takes to work in major franchise fare: Pattinson stars as Batman for DC Studios and is an alum of both the “Twilight” and “Harry Potter” franchises; meanwhile, Hoult plays Lex Luthor in DC’s Superman movies and starred in the 2010s “X-Men” prequel trilogy. He next stars in the Amazon MGM Studios movie “How to Rob a Bank,” in theaters on Nov. 13. Pattinson also has the Denis Villeneuve factor on his side, after starring in the filmmaker’s upcoming epic “Dune: Part Three.”

Two Mystery Actors Also Up For James Bond
Two weeks ago, final screen tests took place at Bray Studios in the UK for the role of James Bond in Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming reboot of the franchise.
At the time, there were said to be four contenders: Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, Josh O’Connor, and a potential mysterious fourth person. Previously rumoured Jacob Elordi and Jack O’Connell were ruled out, but the Elordi rumours briefly resurfaced.
In the two weeks since, British tabloids have published articles suggesting Turner and O’Connor have landed the gig, but that mostly seems to be publicity in the press (either approved or fan-driven) rather than concrete information.
