Overview
- Coral moved Turner to “red‑hot” favorite status with sharply shortened odds, and William Hill now lists him ahead of names like Henry Cavill and Theo James.
- The reboot is set under new stewardship at Amazon MGM Studios with Denis Villeneuve directing and Steven Knight writing.
- Producers David Heyman and Amy Pascal are involved alongside longtime stewards Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson under the new arrangement.
- Deadline has reported the active search is expected to begin after Villeneuve finishes Dune: Part Three, with an aim to find a relatively unknown lead in their late 20s or early 30s.
- Coverage notes Turner’s recent roles and public profile, with a reported Oracabessa Bay vacation cited by some outlets as fueling speculation, but no release date or casting has been confirmed.
