Next James Bond: Jack Lowden’s 007 Chances Explained as the Slow Horses actor emerges as an increasingly fascinating candidate to take over one of cinema’s most iconic roles.
At 36, Lowden falls right into the range for an actor expected to lead a new era of James Bond movies. More importantly, his performance as MI5 agent River Cartwright has already demonstrated his ability to balance espionage, action, humor, and vulnerability. Add roles in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, Fighting with My Family, Calibre, and War & Peace, and there’s a compelling case for giving him the keys to the Aston Martin.
But Jack Lowden isn’t the only possible next James Bond. We compare his strengths with Callum Turner and revisit other heavily discussed 007 candidates, including Henry Cavill and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. We also look back at how dramatically Bond casting has changed from Sean Connery and Roger Moore through Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
With Denis Villeneuve directing and Steven Knight writing, Bond’s next chapter is beginning to take shape. Amy Pascal has also indicated that a major casting announcement could arrive by the end of 2026.
So, is Lowden really the right actor to become the next 007?
