A new report suggests the search for the next James Bond could be nearing its end. Amid growing anticipation for the official casting, producers may have already landed on who will succeed Daniel Craig.
According to well-known industry insider Daniel Richtman, the casting process for James Bond is almost over. “I hear they’re in the final round of casting for James Bond and might have already found their guy,” the scooper posted. However, Richtman did not name the actor directly.
Although Richtman is often considered a reliable source and has given accurate industry reports in the past, readers must note that it is just a rumor for now. No official reports confirm whether the casting process for James Bond is complete.
Who are some of the actors that are rumored to be playing the next James Bond?
The new rumor comes just weeks after television presenter Richard Osman said he knew who the next James Bond could be. “The name I’ve heard is Jack Lowden,” he shared in an episode of his The Rest Is Entertainment podcast. The Englishman added, “It is definitely not a ‘he’s definitely got it’ thing. He is definitely being strongly considered. I think he’d be amazing.”
Lowden is best known for playing River Cartwright in Apple TV+’s acclaimed spy thriller Slow Horses. Later this year, the actor will play Mr. Darcy in the upcoming television adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Lowden has also starred in notable films such as Dunkirk, Mary Queen of Scots, and Ella McCay.
Besides Lowden, several other high-profile names have come up in the ongoing discussion about James Bond’s casting. Some fans believe Jacob Elordi could play 007 next, while others suggest Henry Cavill. Additionally, Callum Turner, Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, and Aaron Pierre are also among the actors linked to the role.
