Earlier this week, James was spotted making a low-key arrival at the film festival.
The Venice Film Festival is one of the world’s oldest award ceremonies and is listed as one of the ‘Big Five’ events. It started on Wednesday 2 September and ends on the 12 September.
James, who recently starred in the BBC drama The Trial Of Christine Keeler, has been hotly-tipped as the latest actor to play James Bond.
The Sun claimed bookmaker Ladbrokes has suspended betting on the star being the next man to portray the fictional secret agent.
Amid frenzied speculation about who will be the next to play Bond, with stars including Richard Madden and Idris Elba being linked with the role, a source told the publication both sides were trying ‘to get a deal signed off’.

‘Producers wanted a Brit and James ticks all the boxes – tall, strapping, physically fit and, of course, looks great in a dinner jacket.
‘Everyone is hoping to get the deal confirmed and signed off, with an announcement in the summer.’
James, meanwhile plays the titular character Gareth Jones in his drama film Mr. Jones, which was released on February 7.
The movie tells the true story of a Welsh journalist who travelled to the Soviet Union in 1933 and uncovers some unpleasant truths about an international conspiracy.
James also starred in Little Women, alongside the likes of Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Timothée Chalamet, Laura Dern, and Meryl Streep earlier this year.
