## Key points

- Robert Pattinson has reportedly screen tested for James Bond.
- Tests took place in London in late October.
- Nicholas Hoult has also emerged as a possible contender.

## Summary

The latest development is that Robert Pattinson has emerged as a reported contender to play James Bond, after screen testing for the role. His possible casting stands out because he is already a major international star and plays Batman in DC Studios’ franchise.

The tests reportedly took place in London over the weekend of 24 October, while Pattinson was filming The Batman Part II. Callum Turner, Jack Lowden and Josh O’Connor have also tested, and Nicholas Hoult has surfaced as another possible candidate. The search is the first under Amazon’s creative control; Daniel Craig left the role after five films, ending with 2021’s No Time to Die.
