Robert Pattinson has not been announced as the next James Bond; he is merely among five actors reportedly screen-tested, with markets pricing a 16% chance.
A prediction market asking whether Robert Pattinson will be announced as the next James Bond is currently pricing 16% YES against 84% NO, following a wave of casting reports on November 7, 2026. According to Deadline, insiders say Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult joined Jack Lowden, Josh O'Connor and Callum Turner in recent screen tests for the role, with a fifth test reportedly added at the last minute. Amazon, which now controls the franchise, declined to comment on the reports. [Deadline, Nov 07]
The reports mark a significant shift in the search for the next 007, which has been reshaped since Amazon MGM Studios took creative control of the Bond franchise following the departure of longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. NME reported that Pattinson and Hoult emerged as "surprise new contenders," noting both actors are among five candidates to have screen-tested. The Robert Pattinson announced as next James Bond question has consequently drawn heightened attention, though no official confirmation has been issued by the studio or the actor's representatives.

Industry observers note that screen tests do not guarantee casting, and Amazon has historically maintained secrecy around the Bond selection process. World of Reel characterized the moment as "unprecedented times for Bond," citing the studio transition and the absence of official comment. For the Robert Pattinson announced as next James Bond market to resolve YES, an official announcement from Amazon or the franchise would be required; until then, the reported screen tests remain unconfirmed by the studio.
