According to The Guardian's report on the search for the next 007, a very select group of actors will screen-test to become the next British agent this weekend, according to reports that the search may finally be nearing its end. The Guardian said the actors in the mix for the role in Denis Villeneuve's installment include Callum Turner and Jack Lowden. It attributed its account to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, which it said were citing several sources.

BBC News also reported, citing reports, that the final James Bond screen tests will take place this weekend. Its summary said Callum Turner and Jack Lowden "appear to be in the mix" of actors doing screen tests for the role.

The two outlets differ slightly on timing. The Guardian's headline refers to screen tests for this week, while its summary and the BBC's summary both refer to this weekend. Both outlets framed the screen tests as reported rather than confirmed, and the BBC's report uses the word "final" in describing the tests.

Neither summary states that a studio, producer, or actor has confirmed the screen tests. Neither names a location or gives exact days beyond the weekend. Both reports name Turner and Lowden as actors in consideration, and neither summary says who will be selected for the role.

The summaries available for this report are excerpts. The full articles may contain further detail that is not reflected here.
