Callum Turner

The One Night Only actor has long been tipped for the role but played coy when asked about Bond in an interview last month.

Turner, 36, told Esquire UK: "I don’t know anything, so I can’t comment. There’s nothing for me to comment on.

"There’s nothing for me to comment on, and I think it’s best just to not say anything...

"I just know I’m not going to comment on it, just because there’s no point in commenting on it in this moment."
