Summary
Gary Oldman said the next James Bond has already been chosen but not announced, adding that he hopes his Slow Horses co-star Jack Lowden got the role.
Oldman told Canada’s Global that Lowden had been rumored to be on the shortlist and said, “they have made their choice,” though it was unclear whether he meant Lowden specifically or Bond casting more broadly.
Amazon MGM Studios did not immediately comment on the claim, which lands after Deadline reported summer auditions and said shortlisted talent had been briefed by producers Amy Pascal, David Heyman and director Denis Villeneuve.
The Bond search has been in its final rounds for days, with earlier reports naming Lowden among leading contenders and pointing to a formal announcement by year-end.
