Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult auditioned for the role of James Bond in late October, according to a report citing US entertainment outlets Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter. Their reported addition to the list of contenders comes as the search for Daniel Craig’s successor continues, with no announcement date confirmed.
Amazon declined to comment when asked about the two actors being added to the names in circulation, Nieuws.nl reported. Jack Lowden, Josh O’Connor and Callum Turner had previously been linked to the role.
The timing of an announcement remains uncertain. Reports have suggested the new Bond could be revealed this month, possibly before Thanksgiving, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November. Earlier reporting said several actors were expected to take part in final screen tests, but the candidates named in coverage have varied. The latest reports on the Bond auditions have not established who will get the role.
Craig last played Bond in *No Time to Die*, released in 2021.
