Higher or Lower

Hoult lacks intensity for Bond despite acting in Mad Max: Fury Road, Superman, and Nosferatu.

Jack Lowden

Lowden is a compelling but unlikely underdog pick for Bond role in Apple TV's Slow Horses.

Callum Turner

Turner could win audiences with Bond but has limited filmography including One Night Only and Fantastic Beasts.

Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson

Pattinson would be a major shake-up for Bond with his fame and Villeneuve collaboration.

Josh O'Connor

O'Connor is the best choice for Bond with recent hits like Disclosure Day and Wake Up Dead Man.
