Callum Turner, born Callum Robilliard Turner, is an English actor allegedly being considered for the high-profile role of James Bond in the new 007 franchise, as per a report by The Daily Mail.
The 35-year-old actor has featured in several movies, including Newt Scamander, Glue, Queen and Country, and the Fantastic Beasts franchise. However, if eventually selected to play the role of James Bond, it could be his biggest role so far.
Callum Turner is also recognized as Dua Lipa’s fiancé. According to reports, the contenders for the role have been narrowed down to only a few actors, and Callum Turner has managed to make the cut.
According to Sarah Caskie, Head of Brand for the online website, Heart Bingo, told The Daily Mail,
“With the rumor mill surrounding the next Bond continuing to turn following the announcement that Amazon will be taking the reins of the franchise, we've turned to public opinion to find the best fit for the 007 role. The masses have spoken on X, and we've collated the data to find that Callum Turner is the people's choice to replace Daniel Craig—with 63% of posts about his potential role in the next film being positive, and 0% negative.”
In another recent prediction by William Hill, the spokesperson, Lee Phelps, as reported by The Daily Mail, reiterated that the odds for Turner and Lipa being part of the Bond franchise are high.
