Page Six says a fresh face has emerged as the surprise frontrunner to portray the next James Bond. He is now out front. A group of six candidates will take screen tests in September. Jack Barton is one name. Callum Turner is another. Jack Lowden and Jacob Elordi are part of the same group.

Youth is a big priority in Amazon MGM's search for the new 007. They want a young actor. The casting process ran into delays more than once. September tests show the search is moving forward. The company has stayed quiet on the record.
