Jack Lowden leads trader sentiment for the next James Bond at 35.4% implied probability, driven by recent public endorsements from Slow Horses co-star Gary Oldman, who indicated a casting decision has been made but not yet announced while expressing hope for Lowden, alongside support from the show's director. This momentum has elevated the Scottish actor ahead of Callum Turner at 22.3%, whose earlier frontrunner status stemmed from strong industry buzz and physical fit for the role. "No Bond chosen" holds 21.9% amid ongoing uncertainty over the timeline, with a shortlist reportedly including Jack Barton, Paul Mescal, and Harris Dickinson. Producers and director Denis Villeneuve have advanced finalists through auditions, targeting an announcement by year-end as production looms for 2027.
