I think Pierce will be proven correct, and the person who lands this role will be someone few of us see coming. I just don't think any of these guys scream 007 to me. Bond can't have baggage onscreen — he has to be a cipher, which is why an unknown is probably the way to go.
Binged all of #TheGentlemen over the weekend and wow, they killed it. The dynamic between Theo James and Kaya Scodelario is easily the best part. S1 was a great setup, but S2 took everything to the next level. Having to wait another two years for S3 is going to be torture.
After thinking over the latest #Lanterns episode: the gritty, detective tone is incredible, but the Zoe/Manhunter reveal was pretty obvious. Still, since it's only mid-season, I’m hoping there are bigger twists waiting down the line.
@TheCinesthetic He probably found out through Jack Lowden, but Jack definitely didn't say who actually got the role. I'm keeping my hopes in check just so I don't get heartbroken if it goes to someone else.
@JamesBondde Even though I want it to be Jack Lowden, he's already attached to two Apple TV shows, Slow Horses and Berlin Noir. It's gonna be difficult but not impossible...
My gut says it's none of them. These names are just smoke and mirrors fabricated to hide the real contenders. We need to look again for a British actor in his 30s (ideally around 32, 36 at most), with a wide-open schedule, under the radar, but respected for his raw talent.

Jack Lowden: The clear standout of the bunch. Even so, at 36 and leading two spy series (Slow Horses and Berlin Noir), it isn't probable. I’d love to see it happen and be proven wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.
So yeah, these are my top choices. We need a mature, relatively unknown, not childish but newcomer Bond.
Gonna this manifest until a Bond actor is revealed.
Jack Lowden, Tom Brittney, Dev Patel and Jeremy Irvine!
(Pt 8)
Which trio looks better for the new James Bond movie?
Bond Contenders:
- Jack Lowden
- Tom Brittney
- Dev Patel
- Jeremy Irvine
Bond Girls: Margot Robbie & Monica Barbaro
(Pt 7)
Bond is mature. Bond is swagger. Bond owns the room.
I believe Bond has to be in his 30s. Already did it a few years, still top contenders are the same. My top choices:
- Jack Lowden
- Tom Brittney
- Dev Patel
- Jeremy Irvine
(Pt 3)
@DanielRPK That’s the shortlist? Really? I'm holding out hope for a Kyle Chandler #Lanterns surprise: an unexpected casting move that ends up being absolute perfection
@worldofreel@PageSix I was hoping to hear more surprising names. But I guess they're going for the safe choices.
Only Lowden or Barton are the options here
