It’s rumoured that the next round of James Bond auditions are taking place this month. Producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, alongside director Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Steven Knight, will be screen-testing actors for the most coveted role in Hollywood.
As a result, Lowden (Slow Horses, Pride and Prejudice) has shot up the next James Bond odds. William Hill said: “There’s a new favourite to take up the role of James Bond next, and it’s Jack Lowden. We’ve seen multiple accounts opened to back the Scottish actor to become the next 007 – in fact, every bet we’ve laid today barring one has been on Lowden, seeing his odds crash from 6/1 into 5/4 favouritism. Callum Turner has now drifted to 7/4 second-favourite, with Henry Cavill next at 9/4 whilst Aaron Taylor Johnson is 6/1.”
