Story summary

Saoirse Ronan, wife of rumored James Bond successor Jack Lowden, responded indirectly when asked about the speculation at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10. Instead of confirming or denying the rumors, she smiled and said her husband is currently focused on filming "Slow Horses" and that they have other priorities like walking their dog and making dinner. When questioned further, Ronan noted that any casting decision would likely be announced soon but avoided direct comment.

In August, Gary Oldman—Lowden's co-star in "Slow Horses"—told Canada’s Global News that Lowden is on the shortlist for the role, though a final choice has not been officially made yet. Ronan herself expressed interest in playing a Bond villain, telling Empire magazine she wants to go "dark" and be taken seriously as an antagonist.

The speculation around Lowden's potential casting stems from his small but notable part in Emma Stone’s 2023 film “Poor Things.” Meanwhile, the production team has indicated they are seeking an actor who embodies sex appeal for the next installment of the franchise, which will be directed by Denis Villeneuve.
