Next Bond favourite dominates over 70 per cent of bets after breaking silence | Films | Entertainment

Coral’s John Hill said: “Aaron Taylor-Johnson has refused to rule himself out of the running to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond.

“The British actor continues to top our betting for the iconic role, and with just over 70 per cent of all bets being for the Marvel star in the last seven days, punters certainly believe he is the most likely to land the job.”

Meanwhile, the actor on 11-4 has competition from other stars in the bookies’ race not far behind him.

Behind Taylor Johnson is James Norton on 3-1, followed by both Henry Cavill and Regé-Jean Page on 4-1.

Further back are Tom Hardy on 7-1, Paapa Essiedu on 8-1, Jack Lowden on 12-1 and both Richard Madden and Callum Turner on 14-1. Also in the mix are Aidan Turner on 16-1 and Sope Dirisu on 20-1.

Presumably, fans will have to wait for the ongoing joint actors and writers strike to end before we get an official next Bond announcement.
