“It’s been rumoured that [Jack Lowden is] on the shortlist,” said Gary of his pal when asked about the iconic part.
He continued: “We’re going to find out pretty soon, aren’t we? Because they have picked him.
“They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet. So my fingers are crossed for Jack.”
Jack’s wife, Irish actress Saoirse Ronan, has previously revealed her interest in playing a Bond villain.
She told Empire magazine: “I want to go dark. I said that I wanted to be a Bond villain, and I’m dead serious.
“I think it would be really interesting, having a young, female villain.
“Especially for girls and women, to see someone who can just take all that pent-up anger and direct it somewhere.”
