Gary Oldman Claims the Next James Bond Has Already Been Picked

Oldman said the choice has been made as auditions continued, while producers informed shortlisted talent and rumors swirled around several young British actors.

  • Actor Gary Oldman claimed on Canada's The Morning Show that the next James Bond casting decision has been made, though Amazon MGM Studios has not yet announced the choice.
  • Speculation has intensified as the next Bond film enters production next year, with names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jacob Elordi, and Jack Lowden frequently circulated, despite Amazon MGM Studios repeatedly refusing to confirm any casting details.
  • During an interview on Canada's The Morning Show, Oldman backed his Slow Horses co-star Jack Lowden to play James Bond, saying he had his "fingers crossed" for the Scottish actor.
  • Lowden's wife, actress Saoirse Ronan, told Empire last month she was "dead serious" about playing a Bond villain, envisioning "a young female villain" to inspire audiences.
  • Casting remains under arguably the tightest wrap of any film production as producers search for the successor to Daniel Craig, with industry insiders noting that 99 percent of Bond rumors prove false.
