Jack Lowden, Callum Turner shortlisted for next James Bond

Three actors, Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, Josh O'Connor, are finalists for the next James Bond, sources say.

The James Bond role is cinema's most desired part. The hunt for Daniel Craig's successor narrowed this month.

Final auditions took place in London from October 23 to 25. Jack Lowden (Slow Horses), Callum Turner (Masters of the Air), and Josh O'Connor (The Crown) were among the contenders.

Many actors have been considered, including Idris Elba, Henry Cavill, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. But age and timing ruled most out.

Producers have not confirmed the casting process. The final choice could take months.
