Recent reports from veteran entertainment journalist Roger Friedman, who previously broke Daniel Craig’s casting, have positioned Callum Turner as the frontrunner with a 60% implied probability on Polymarket. Traders appear to be reacting to Turner’s participation in final screen tests alongside Jack Lowden and Josh O’Connor in late October, combined with his rising profile from projects like Masters of the Air and his physical suitability for the role. Lowden trails at 14.8% amid earlier bookmakers’ buzz, while the 11% on “No Bond chosen” reflects the absence of any official confirmation from Amazon MGM Studios or director Denis Villeneuve. An announcement is still expected before year-end.
