We’re not far out from learning who the new James Bond is. Up until recently, it had seemed like the role of 007 was between Jack Lowden, Josh O’Connor, and Callum Turner. Then, a week or so ago, it was reported (including here by us) that Nicholas Hoult and Robert Pattinson had screen tested as well, adding those names to the mix, alongside Lowden, O’Connor, and Turner. Reporting by Puck has given some clarity on the addition of a big name like Pattinson, as his potential deal would not just be more expensive than the others, but for one fewer film as well (three instead of four). As the decision seems to be at most a month or so away, I wanted to put the choice to all of you, Awards Radar Community question style. So, who do you want to see play Bond?
A few days ago, after the Hoult and Pattinson news had settled, I posted on social media with my preference:
Now that it seems like we know the actual Bond finalists, my updated ranking would be:
- Josh O’Connor
- Robert Pattinson
- Jack Lowden
- Nicholas Hoult
- Callum Turner— Joey Magidson (@JoeyMagidson) November 13, 2026
Basically, I’ve thought O’Connor was perfect for the role and have been saying so for years, though Pattinson very much intrigues me, especially if 007 is going to be a different kind of role now. Again, the only one I’d be meh on is Turner, but welcome to being surprised…— Joey Magidson (@JoeyMagidson) November 13, 2026
Now, it’s time for you all to chime in. Who do you want to see as 007 in the new movies? Are you on board with Pattinson as Bond? If so, tell us why. Are you leaning towards O’Connor like I am? We’re all ears to find out your reasoning. Don’t be shy, and have at it…
