After the surprising and unsettling announcement that Amazon will assume creative control over the James Bond series, a potential candidate for the coveted role of 007 has come to the forefront. This up-and-coming contender is none other than Scottish actor Jack Lowden, best known for his role in Slow Horses. With the recent changes happening behind the scenes, Lowden’s chances of leading the iconic franchise have increased significantly.
The 34-year-old actor, recognized for roles in movies such as ’71, Calibre, Fighting with My Family, Capone, Benediction, and Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, is now considered a strong contender for the role of James Bond, given his odds have increased to 8/1, according to Oddspedia. This places him alongside other potential candidates like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Henry Cavill, and Theo James.
Speaking about Jack Lowden, Shing Mon Chung stated that his odds increasing to 8/1 has sparked renewed enthusiasm among Bond fans. As a Scottish contender for the role, he might reconnect the franchise with its original origins, recalling the legendary portrayal of Sean Connery in the iconic Bond series.
Although Jeff Bezos’ fan survey preferred well-known actors like Henry Cavill and Tom Cruise for the lead role in the upcoming series, betting markets hint that Amazon’s creative changes may bring an unexpected choice. The rise of Lowden implies that industry experts are anticipating a daring, nostalgic decision might be imminent.
Is Jack Lowden Interested in Swapping the Dysfunction of MI5 for the Globe-Trotting Glamor of MI6?
With Amazon now in control (a shift that has elicited quite rational responses from fans), speculation about who will portray the next James Bond is mounting faster than it possibly would have under long-term producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Although we’re yet to learn the identity of this mystery actor, Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s head honcho, didn’t waste time in soliciting the public’s opinion. He took to social media to query, “Who do you think should be the next Bond?
In my perspective, there’s an overwhelming enthusiasm leaning towards one individual, the charismatic Henry Cavill, who once donned the cape as Superman. Interestingly, his relatively underwhelming audition for the 2006 James Bond reboot, Casino Royale, has resurfaced recently. Though some fans still dream of Cavill stepping into the iconic tuxedo, it’s Jack Lowden who seems to be the front-runner given his age and public profile.
There’s a certain charm in restarting the franchise with another Scottish actor, reminiscent of the original James Bond, Sean Connery. However, I wonder if the Slow Horses star would consider trading the intrigue of MI5 for the glamorous jet-setting lifestyle of MI6? After all, who knows, perhaps he’d find a new kind of adventure in the world of 007!
After the $1 billion acquisition, Mike Hopkins, leader of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, expressed his pride in carrying on this valuable legacy, eagerly anticipating the launch of the upcoming phase of James Bond for global viewers. On the other hand, Barbara Broccoli mentioned that her career has revolved around safeguarding and expanding upon the remarkable heritage bequeathed to her and Michael by their father, producer Cubby Broccoli. She has had the privilege of collaborating closely with numerous talented actors who portrayed James Bond and countless gifted artists in the industry. With No Time to Die completed and Michael stepping away from the films, she now feels ready to focus on other endeavors.
