Callum Turner, who’s rumored to be the next James Bond, was spotted enjoying a casual weekend walk with his fiancée, Dua Lipa. The outing happened shortly after reports surfaced suggesting he’s landed the 007 role and that Lipa might compose the theme song.

According to sources at The Mail on Sunday, Callum, who is the frontrunner to be the next James Bond, has been confidently telling friends that he’s secured the part.

According to a source familiar with the actor, Callum Turner is confirmed to be the next James Bond, and the news is widely known among his friends and colleagues. It’s an open secret that he’s landed the role.

If 35-year-old Callum is cast as James Bond and carries the iconic Walther PPK, Amazon might also secure a deal with Dua Lipa to create a theme song for the movie’s opening and ending.

I’m hearing whispers that these two were spotted enjoying a cozy winter walk with their dog in London – definitely a sweet way to spend some quality time together!

Dua looked effortlessly chic in a cream-colored trench coat and sunglasses, while Callum stayed cozy in a black puffer coat and hat.

Dua Lipa, age 30, previously penned the song ‘Swan Song’ for the 2019 film Alita: Battle Angel and is excited to contribute to the next James Bond film, continuing a tradition established by artists like Adele, Billie Eilish, and Sam Smith.

According to a source, Dua is thrilled for Callum. She’s expressed a desire to record a James Bond theme song.

I’ve always been fascinated by people’s journeys, and Callum’s is a great example of unexpected success. He grew up on a London council estate, and initially found work as a model for Next. But things really took off when he landed the role of Theseus Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts films – first in The Crimes of Grindelwald, and then in The Secrets of Dumbledore. It’s a wonderful story of someone reaching for, and achieving, something truly magical!

He received praise for his performances in both the 2023 film The Boys In The Boat, directed by George Clooney, and the Apple TV series Masters Of The Air, which was produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. He played Major John ‘Bucky’ Egan in the series.

He began dating Dua in January 2024, and they got engaged last summer. They haven’t yet announced when their wedding will be.

Speculation that Callum might be the next James Bond increased when he vacationed at Goldeneye in Jamaica, the historic home of Bond creator Ian Fleming.

According to a source, if Callum Turner is cast as the next James Bond, it would be a well-received choice. He possesses the necessary appearance and refinement for the role, and has demonstrated his acting ability.

Everyone is eagerly awaiting the next James Bond movie, currently called Bond 26. It’s been four years since the last film, No Time To Die, which has built up a lot of excitement around this new installment.

It could start filming this year for a 2027 release.

Last February, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, the producers behind the James Bond films through their company Eon Productions, reportedly sold the rights to Amazon for $1 billion.

Jeff Bezos, the head of Amazon, is a huge James Bond fan and is very involved in the future of the franchise. According to someone at his company, he’s determined to get it right and doesn’t want to risk damaging the Bond legacy.

He understands how much James Bond means to people. Because of this, the next actor to play Bond needs to be absolutely perfect.

The screenplay needs to be truly captivating. It should include everything audiences expect from a Bond film – thrilling action and attractive female characters – but also feel new and engaging for modern viewers.

The script for the 26th James Bond film is being written by Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, with Denis Villeneuve, director of Dune, providing oversight.

People familiar with the film’s production previously shared with the Mail on Sunday that the script wasn’t written for any actor in particular, but Jeff Bezos and Denis Villeneuve were hoping to cast a young British actor in the lead role.

Okay, so everyone’s finally seeing what I’ve known all along! It feels amazing. For months, I’ve been saying Richard Turner is the next James Bond, and the bookies are finally starting to agree! He’s jumped ahead of all those other names – Taylor-Johnson, Norton, even Idris! It’s happening, you guys, it’s really happening! I just knew he had that Bond energy.

Dua Lipa declined to comment while Amazon and Callum Turner were approached for comment.
