Everyone is intensely curious about Denis Villeneuve’s take on James Bond. Since the project was announced, any news about it immediately captures global attention. British actor Callum Turner is a strong contender for the role, and while at the Berlinale film festival, he avoided answering questions about whether he’d been cast, saying it was still too soon to discuss.
Callum Turner makes a firm remark to James Bond casting questions in Berlin
At the very beginning of the press events for his film Rosebush Pruning at the 2026 Berlin Film Festival, Callum Turner was asked about rumors linking him to the role of a famous spy. According to Variety, he acknowledged it was a bit early to be discussing such things, and with a slight smile, stated he wouldn’t be commenting on the speculation.
Adding to the playful atmosphere, Tracy Letts jokingly declared, “I’m sorry, I’m the next James Bond!” Everyone, including his co-star, managed a laugh, responding with, “Tracy, I thought you weren’t going to say anything.” While it’s clear the 60-year-old actor isn’t actually in line to play James Bond, during the Berlin Film Festival, running from February 12th to 22nd, 2026, many were happy to pretend he might be.
Numerous actors are currently being considered to take on the role of James Bond, including Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Anthony Boyle, Leo Suter, Harris Dickinson, Regé-Jean Page, and Idris Elba – who is engaged to Dua Lipa. Reports suggest that Jacob Elordi has already met with the director. The search continues, and new names and rumors appear daily.
