Robert Pattinson screen-tested to play James Bond, report says

A headline on The Hollywood Reporter's website says Robert Pattinson screen-tested to play James Bond. The item, titled "James Bond Surprise: Robert Pattinson Screen Tested to Play 007," appears in the site's Latest News list with a timestamp of 06:09 pm. The page gives no date for it.

The source contains only the headline, not the article itself. Details such as when the screen test took place, who ran it or what the outcome was are therefore not known from this material.

The Pattinson item is one entry among many in the Latest News list. The page's top story is a photo gallery from the 2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala. Other entries in the list include a story saying Godzilla Minus Zero is heading for a historic $32 million box-office launch, with The Cat in the Hat at No. 2. Another says the stars of Nobody Wants This hint at a fourth season.

A separate item on the page features Bill Skarsgard, who said he would still play a James Bond villain. He also said he wasn't approached to play the next 007: "I wasn't even thrown into the mix."
