ScreenRant poll shows Jack Lowden leading fan vote for next James Bond
A recent online poll found Jack Lowden received nearly half of the votes among three actors shortlisted for the upcoming James Bond film, with bookmakers and co-star Gary Oldman also favoring him.
A ScreenRant poll of readers asked which of the three actors currently testing for the next James Bond would be the best choice. Jack Lowden led the vote with 49.8%, followed by Callum Turner at 13.3% and Josh O'Connor at 7.1%. An "Other" option captured 29.8% of votes but remained well behind Lowden's share.
"Lowden is the heavy favorite among bookmakers and has the endorsement of co-star Gary Oldman," the poll summary noted.
The shortlist, reported by industry sources, includes Lowden, Turner and O'Connor, while other names such as Jacob Elordi, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Richard Madden have not appeared in recent casting reports. The film, identified as Bond 26, will be directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Steven Knight, with casting assistance from Nina Gold. Producers are reportedly seeking a younger actor for a series of sequels, marking what they describe as a new era for the franchise.
