According to a recent THR report, Lowden and Turner are reportedly expected to appear for a final screen test this weekend in London. Two sources claim that the tests could begin as early as Friday.
Jack Lowden has long been in the spotlight for the role. Speculation about Lowden’s chances intensified after his Slow Horses co-star, Gary Oldman, suggested that the filmmakers had already chosen him. Last month during an interview with Canada’s The Morning Show, he said, “They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet. So my fingers are crossed for Jack.”
In addition to the lead role, there has also been widespread speculation regarding who could be the next “Bond girl.” Fans are betting on Margaret Qualley to land the role. According to BetOnline, she leads the odds with a 33% chance, followed by Sydney Sweeney at 25%. Anya Taylor-Joy, Florence Pugh, and Zendaya have also made the list.
For now, there has been no official announcement regarding the James Bond casting.
