James Bond Frontrunner Officially Reacts to Recent Rumors

Josh O’Connor has responded to reports naming him as a possible next James Bond, saying he feels honoured to be considered. He offered no indication of whether he has been offered the role, as speculation grows ahead of an expected casting decision.

O’Connor is reportedly third in the running behind Callum Turner and Jack Lowden, with odds favouring Turner. All three are 36, and former Bond Pierce Brosnan has praised Turner. Producer Amy Pascal said the methodical search is expected to conclude before the end of the year.
