Saoirse Ronan addressed rumors that her husband Jack Lowden has been cast as James Bond during interviews this October 2026.

  • Gary Oldman claimed Lowden was on a shortlist and a choice may have been made.
  • Oldman later clarified at the Toronto International Film Festival that he does not know the actual casting decision.
  • Denis Villeneuve will direct the upcoming Amazon MGM Bond film.
  • Steven Knight wrote the script for the production.

Gary Oldman's Claims

The speculation started after public remarks from Lowden's co-star.

"We’re going to find out pretty soon, aren’t we? Because they have picked him. They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet. So my fingers are crossed for Jack."

Gary Oldman, Actor

Oldman revised his statement during his appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival. He admitted he lacks inside knowledge of the final casting choice.
