George Clooney Wants Callum Turner as the Next Bond—Do You Agree?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Our mission at SAW is to foster conversations about this thing we all love (or love to hate): film/TV. Many of our features are designed with you in mind. Your opinions, to be more to the point. You have ’em. We want to hear ’em.

Question of the Day (QOTD) is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a film/TV-related question that we put to you, the reader. The comments section below is like the feedback box at work; except, in this example, we actually read what you write and care about what you have to say.


Deadline reported yesterday that James Bond producers and director Denis Villeneuve have begun informing talent who have made the next round of auditions, which will occur this August. While no names have been confirmed, there are several actors who fans want to see succeed Daniel Craig as the next 007.

If you ask George Clooney who he wants to see asking for his martini shaken not stirred, it’s Callum Turner, who played the lead in Clooney’s 2023 historical drama film, The Boys in the Boat.

“I hope Callum ends up being the next Bond. I think he would be a great Bond,” Clooney told THR earlier this month. “He’s tall and handsome and charming and British, so he’s the perfect guy to do it.”

So, the question I ask today is: Do you agree with Clooney? Do you want to see Callum Turner as the next 007? If not, who do you have in mind for the role?


I’ll see you in the trenches.
