Jack Lowden responds to Bond speculation without confirming a casting

Jack Lowden has responded to speculation linking him with the next James Bond film, without confirming that he has been cast. BBC News, Variety and Deadline reported his comments to GQ on 2 November 2026.

The Slow Horses actor said he appreciated being considered for roles but did not want to contribute to the speculation. His remarks should not be read as a casting announcement.

Lowden also acknowledged the support of his co-star Gary Oldman. The BBC reported that Oldman had clarified earlier remarks: he had heard a rumour about the selection process, rather than knowing that Lowden had been chosen.

The reports concern Lowden’s response to the rumours. They do not establish who will replace Daniel Craig, whose final Bond film was No Time To Die in 2021.
