Recent final screen tests in London have narrowed the field for the next James Bond to Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, and Josh O’Connor, plus one undisclosed actor, according to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter. This development has elevated Lowden to the market lead on the strength of his Slow Horses performance, prior BAFTA recognition, and endorsements from Gary Oldman and Richard Osman. Turner sits second amid continued buzz tied to his Masters of the Air role and marriage to Dua Lipa. O’Connor’s inclusion reflects his recent critical acclaim in Challengers and a shared scene with Daniel Craig in Wake Up Dead Man. Jacob Elordi has reportedly fallen out of contention. With Amazon MGM Studios and producer Amy Pascal signaling a possible announcement before year-end, the 15% probability assigned to no selection reflects ongoing uncertainty around timing and the final choice.
