$135,790 Vol. 1d 4h left
Description Amazon MGM has not named the lead for Denis Villeneuve's Bond 26; producer Amy Pascal said "the end of the year is a good bet." Oct 2026 reports say final screen tests are underway, with reported contenders including Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, Josh O'Connor and Jacob Elordi.
- This event resolves YES if, between October 24, 2026 and November 16, 2026 04:59 UTC (11:59 PM ET Nov 15), an official source publicly announces or confirms the actor cast as James Bond in Bond 26.
- This event resolves NO if no such official announcement is made by the deadline.
- 1. Specificity: Official sources: Amazon MGM Studios/Amazon press releases or executives on record, producers Amy Pascal/David Heyman, director Denis Villeneuve, official 007/Amazon MGM/Prime Video channels (007.com, social accounts). An official reveal video or event counts when publicly released. Trade reports count only if quoting an on-record statement or press release. "Bond 26" means the next official Amazon MGM theatrical Bond film, whatever its final title.
- 2. Exclusion: Leaks, anonymous-source exclusives ("sources say", "in final negotiations"), deal reports, screen-test reports, shortlists, actor self-claims, and castings in non-film projects (e.g. Big Finish Young Bond audio dramas, video games, TV spin-offs) do not count. If it is genuinely unclear whether a statement is official, resolves NO unless confirmed by a primary source.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: Amazon MGM / 007.com official statements priority. Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter secondary. Reuters/AP/BBC tertiary.
- 4. Timing: Announcement must occur before November 16, 2026 04:59 UTC. Post-deadline announcements resolve NO.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: If an actor is officially announced and later withdraws or is replaced before the deadline, resolves YES based on the first official announcement.
