The race for the next tuxedo and martini is shaking up faster than oddsmakers can track.
Just when the market seemed settled on Callum Turner or Jack Lowden, BetOnline Sports & Casino has posted Josh O'Connor as the brand-new betting favorite to succeed Daniel Craig as the next James Bond.
O'Connor, who sat at 8/1 just last week and was hovering around 10/1 as recently as May, now leads the pack at 2/1. The shifting landscape highlights the fierce behind-the-scenes speculation surrounding the 007 franchise, where frontrunners have changed hands three times in as many weeks. Turner was the odds-on leader just seven days ago, following a brief stint at the top by Lowden.
Meanwhile, the biggest mover on the board is Robert Pattinson. Early this summer, Pattinson was viewed as a distant 50/1 longshot. By last week, he tightened to 16/1, and today he sits within striking distance of the lead at 4/1.
Current Betting Board: Who Will Be Cast as James Bond?
- Josh O’Connor: 2/1
- Jack Lowden: 5/2
- Callum Turner: 3/1
- Robert Pattinson: 4/1
- Nicholas Hoult: 15/1
- Scott Rose Marsh: 33/1
- James Norton: 40/1
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson: 40/1
- Richard Madden: 50/1
- Jack Barton: 50/1
With long-time favorites like Aaron Taylor-Johnson sliding down to 40/1, the momentum is undeniably with the younger crop of British talent.
