Details surrounding Robert Pattinson ’s potential James Bond deal have heightened speculation that he will be cast in the role .
Pattinson, recently seen in The Odyssey and Primetime , became a surprise contender alongside Nicholas Hoult following reports earlier this month that they secretly auditioned to replace Daniel Craig as 007.
