Rumors continue to swirl about who may play the British super-spy James Bond in the next movie. The latest name in the mix is Jack Lowden, the 36-year-old known in the video game world for playing T.E. Lawrence AKA Lawrence of Arabia in Battlefield 1.
TV presenter Richard Osman said on his podcast, The Rest Is Entertainment, that he heard from “someone” that Lowden is being considered for the role. He said his source told him “for definite” that Lowden is in the mix, though nothing is confirmed at this stage.
Lowden’s one and only video game credit is Battlefield 1. On TV, he’s known for playing River on Slow Horses and will appear as Mr. Darcy in Netflix’s upcoming Pride and Prejudice TV show. Lowden also played Forodwaith Sauron in an episode of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. In film, Lowden appeared in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and voiced Gunnar in this year’s Rogue Trooper movie.
