## Key points

- Pattinson reportedly agreed to three Bond films.
- Other frontrunners were asked to commit to four.
- Casting discussions are still ongoing.

## Summary

Robert Pattinson has reportedly agreed to make three James Bond films if he is cast, one fewer than other leading candidates. His shorter commitment and higher pay have fuelled speculation about how strongly the filmmakers favour him, although director Denis Villeneuve says discussions are still ongoing.

A report says Josh O’Connor and Jack Lowden were asked to commit to four films, while Pattinson’s deal was difficult to close. Callum Turner and Nicholas Hoult have also screen-tested, with Pattinson and Hoult reportedly joining the process late. Pattinson’s existing role in The Batman is another factor, though a return after the sequel is uncertain.
