- Amazon MGM has not confirmed the names and has kept public comment limited, while casting director Nina Gold is overseeing a tightly managed, multi‑step selection process.
- Denis Villeneuve is attached to direct the untitled reboot and Steven Knight is the screenwriter, positioning the chosen actor to launch a new creative era for the franchise.
- Several previously linked performers, including Jacob Elordi and Jack O’Connell, are reported not to be part of this round of final tests according to recent coverage.
