The wait for the next James Bond may finally be nearing its end, with Gary Oldman claiming producers have already chosen Daniel Craig's successor. Oldman, 68, made the claim while discussing his Apple TV+ series Slow Horses, in which he stars alongside Jack Lowden, 36.

The veteran actor also appeared to throw his support behind Lowden, who has repeatedly been linked with the coveted 007 role. Speaking to Canada's The Morning Show, Oldman suggested the decision has already been made, although Amazon MGM Studios has yet to reveal the actor publicly.
