Kristin Scott Thomas, who stars in Apple TV+’s Slow Horses, says she would like to see her co-star Jack Lowden become the next James Bond. She tells reporters she does not have any inside information about casting, but adds that Lowden is “very, very” good and has the right mix of qualities for the role.

Several outlets also mention that Slow Horses has provided public support for the idea. Sir Gary Oldman has previously said he has “fingers crossed” for Lowden, and director Adam Randall points to Lowden’s ability to combine comedy and humour with serious moments.

Other coverage frames the wider casting chatter around Lowden, noting that he has largely declined to comment in detail on rumours. Different outlets place emphasis on Thomas’s endorsement first, while some also connect it to comments from fellow Slow Horses figures and the broader list of actors repeatedly linked to the 007 role.
