Reports in the past have stated Callum Turner was the frontrunner to be the upcoming new James Bond, but pump the brakes on that now. Jack Barton, a 31-year-old British actor known for Heartstopper and SAS: Rogue Heroes, has reportedly emerged as a surprise favorite to become the next James Bond. Callum Turner and Jack O’Connell reportedly rank among three finalists, though Amazon MGM has not confirmed the shortlist or revealed the third contender.
