British actor 'tipped to become next James Bond' after bosses narrow shortlist
A new name has entered the fray in the search for the next James Bond, with actor Callum Turner 'tipped' to take the role. The 35-year-old model-turned-actor – and fiancée of pop icon Dua Lipa – starred in the Apple TV+ drama Masters of the Air as Major 'Bucky' Egan. He also appeared in the Harry Potter spin-off films as Theseus Scamander in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and The Secrets of Dumbledore. Last month, it was confirmed that the Bond franchise had found its next director in Dune helmsman Denis Villeneuve. This led to speculation that his Lisan al Gaib Timothée Chalamet might take on the role – but the iconic spy's shoes remain unfilled for now. With Bond's Amazon bosses reportedly circling just a handful of names, British actor Callum may yet fit the bill. According to a report from Heart Bingo, it's believed that Callum would be Amazon bosses' best pick for the role. Sarah Caskie, Head of Brand for online website told The Daily Mail: 'With the rumour mill surrounding the next continuing to turn following the announcement Amazon will be taking the reins with the franchise, we've turned to public opinion to find the best fit for the 007 role. 'The masses have spoken on X and we've collated the data to find that Callum Turner is the people's choice to replace Daniel Craig, with 63% of posts concerning his potential role in the next film being positive, while 0% were negative.' As of April, Callum's odds for the role were at 20/1. Outside of his acting work, Callum may best be known as Dua Lipa's husband-to-be. The Levitating singer confirmed that she and boyfriend Callum had gotten engaged, months after flashing a chunky engagement ring on social media. 'Yeah, we're engaged,' she told British Vogue. 'It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling.' Should Callum take on the license to kill – or even if he misses out – bosses could do far worse than hit up Dua Lipa for the next theme tune. Callum joins a list of names which include current frontrunner Aaron Taylor-Johnson, James Norton and Theo James. Last month, producers were said to be facing a choice between three big names. This list consisted of Babygirl's Harris Dickinson, Saltburn star Jacob Elordi and Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland. However, with the position still vacant, BBC actor Scott Rose-Marsh has also emerged as a potential candidate. The 37-year-old thespian, who appeared in movies Wolves of War and Code of Silence, is currently eighth-favourite for the part, according to Oddschecker. This makes him something of an underdog in the fight, especially when compared to bigger names like Henry Cavill and Tom Hardy. The search for the next Bond follows the news that Dune director Denis will helm the franchise's next instalment. More Trending 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007,' he said in a statement released soon after the news broke. 'I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. He described the opportunity 'a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour.' Got a story?

Accused killers on trial for Australian brothers' deaths sent to ‘Mexico's toughest prison'
Two of the men accused of murdering Perth brothers Callum and Jake Robinson and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad will remain in a notorious maximum-security prison in the Mexican desert while lawyers determine the facts of the case. Two court hearings into the men's deaths were held back-to-back in Ensenada, in Baja California, on Thursday afternoon (Friday morning AEST). The Robinson brothers, from Perth's northern suburbs, were killed while on a surf trip to the Baja California peninsula in April last year. The brothers were travelling with Rhoad, a San Diego local, and drove a Chevrolet Colorado pick-up to their Punta San Jose campsite on the region's coastline. Four people will be tried in connection with the men's alleged murders. Prosecutors believe the trio was targeted by criminals looking to steal their car's tyres, and were killed when they resisted. However, this masthead understands the surfing spot where the men had been camping, La Bocana, which is almost two hours from a main road and accessible only by four-wheel-drive, is a 'hot spot' for local drug labs and marijuana plantations. The beach is used to transport drugs and migrants across the ocean to the United States. It is also understood that one of the men accused of the murders, Jesús Gerardo, had a long background with law enforcement, including connections to organised crime and allegedly corrupt Mexican police officers.

Keep on moving is Quay boss Disney's message to Oswell!
Oswell, the former Wrexham striker, made the move to Connah's Quay from relegated Newtown over the summer and he has been in fine goal-scoring form for Nomads in pre-season matches. Team boss Disney told the club's X site: 'A constant threat in the box and I think again that's what we've got to work on. 'So, we're working towards our patterns of what we're looking to do and how we load the box when Jason's in there, because, you know, you speak to the players that have played against him within the league and even higher, and, you know, he's played in the Football League. 'He moves in the box constantly and I think very good strikers do that. I think he's been a really good addition around the place. 'He's a really good professional. He's a good player. He gets on the end of all the crosses and he brings other people into play. 'So, yeah, really positive with Jason. I think we knew what we were going to get and I think his movement... you can't match it when you're in the box.' Nomads have confirmed the signing of 19-year-old midfielder Callum West. Having come through the academies at Burnley and Barnsley, West went on to make senior appearances with Macclesfield, Hyde United and Hebburn Town. West will be a part of Quay's new hybrid first team model. Disney told the club's website: 'Callum is a player who I first saw playing for Macclesfield at 16 and caught my eye right away with his fantastic left foot and was rightfully rewarded a full time move to Burnley. 'Callum also made his senior professional debut at Barnsley last season and is another very versatile player with wonderful fitness levels. Callum has had three years in full time football and once the opportunity to become a full time player here arose it was something he and his family wanted to commit to.' Nomads will continue their pre-season preparations with a friendly trip to Lower Breck tomorrow. Flint Town United have confirmed they have received formal offers from EFL clubs for Isaac Lee. 'Permission has been granted for him to hold talks with all parties involved,' said a club statement. 'Further announcements will be made in due course.' Lee Fowler's Silkmen, who drew 1-1 with Llay Welfare in midweek, are in friendly action at home to Avro tomorrow. Holywell Town have bolstered their squad ahead of next weekend's Cymru North kick-off. James Stead has made a move to the Wellmen. A composed and intelligent midfielder, Stead is sure to bring quality on the ball and he will add depth to boss Johnny Haseldin's options in the middle of the park. In addition, striker Oli Buckley has returned for a second spell at Holywell. He previously enjoyed a two-year stint with Town between 2021 and 2023. There's no Welsh League Cup action for Holywell this weekend and they will host NFA in a friendly tomorrow. In midweek, Ieuan Hewitt netted for the Wellmen in a 1-1 draw versus Llanrwst. Tomorrow's friendlies: Liver Academy v Hawarden Rangers; Llangollen Town v Ruabon Rovers; Llansantffraid v Rhostyllen; Llay Welfare v Capenhurst Villa; Penycae v Whitchurch Alport; Wythenshawe v Airbus. Sunday: Chirk AAA U19s v Corwen Reserves.
