According to the latest odds from several British bookmakers, a new favorite is swinging for the role of master spy at the top. Time for an overview of the most voted names in the race for Daniel Craig’s successor.
Since it was announced that “No Time to Die” would be Daniel Craig’s final appearance as master spy James Bond, the rumor mill has been running at full speed. A slew of actors have already been ported as favorites for the role – sometimes by film industry insiders close to the Bond production team, sometimes by actor gossip, but often by betting shops who can provide an accurate ranking of viewers’ favor . A new favorite has reportedly emerged this weekend, pushing the previous favorites into the background, as several British media reports:
“Happy Valley” actor James Norton should now be the new favorite with a 9:4 rate at the bookmaker Coral for the role, following previous trailblazers such as Henry Cavill or Tom Hardy has left behind.
However, the betting shop rankings have a catch: the line “My favorite actor has to play Bond!” just doesn’t apply. Because there are fairly strict parameters for casting the 007 role. And no one knows it better than the James Bond production team, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson (who are ultimately in control, not an audience vote).
Let’s take a look at some of the most popular names!
