Jack Lowden Addresses James Bond Speculation (Entertainment)

Lowden called the Bond speculation flattering and said he would not add to the noise as Amazon MGM Studios nears a decision after final screen tests.

  • On Monday, Scottish actor Jack Lowden addressed rumors linking him to the next James Bond role in a new British GQ interview, describing the speculation as "flattering" but refusing to "add to the noise."
  • Speculation intensified in September after Slow Horses co-star Gary Oldman publicly hoped Lowden would land the part, though Oldman later clarified he only heard a rumor that producers had selected an actor from a "six-person shortlist."
  • Last month, final screen tests reportedly took place at Bray Studios in Berkshire, with Lowden, Callum Turner, and a mystery star auditioning to be the next 007; bookies give Lowden 8/11 odds to bag the role.
  • Downplaying the rumors, Lowden noted that male actors wearing suits are often linked with the superspy role, while producer Amy Pascal previously stated a casting decision could be revealed by "the end of the year."
  • Directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Steven Knight, the upcoming Bond film marks the first installment under Amazon MGM Studios' control since 2025, following Daniel Craig's final appearance in 2021's No Time To Die.
