Next James Bond odds: The current favourites

The latest next James Bond odds from Ladbrokes have revealed the eight most likely names to replace Daniel Craig and play 007 next.

With Amazon acquiring 'creative control' of the Bond franchise in a deal worth $1billion, many speculated that the March 2025's Oscars ceremony could see an announcement as to who the next 007 is going to be.

However, the ceremony has come and gone, and fans are still none-the-wiser as to who is going to replace Craig in one of the world's most famous movie roles.

Filming for the movie, which is set to be released by the end of 2027, has reportedly been 'fast-tracked' so perhaps we'll begin to hear more about who the next Bond is going to be very soon.

As things stand, it's Theo James who continues to lead the way in the betting at 5/2, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson (7/2) and Henry Cavill (4/1) close behind.

Elsewhere, former favourite James Norton is currently 6/1 in the betting, with Jack Lowden (7/1), Tom Hardy (8/1) and Harris Dickinson and Callum Turner (12/1) all firmly among the frontrunners.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "The race to replace Daniel Craig is probably closer now than it's ever been, with a whole host of A-listers seemingly waiting for the call-up."

Above are the odds for the eight front-runners to become the next 007, all of whom are priced at 12/1 or shorter.

Best known for playing Spider-Man, Holland's odds of being the next 007 were slashed dramatically from 50/1 to 16/1 after it was announced that Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal will be one of the producers of the next Bond flick. 

However, less than three weeks later and Holland's odds are back up to 33/1, suggesting that despite a brief glimmer of hope, the bookies still think that Holland is a major longshot to be selected as the next 007.

The other producer is Wizarding World supremo David Heyman, but a sensational broomstick-DB5 switch doesn’t look to be in Daniel Radcliffe’s future, with his odds of being the next Bond also at 33/1.

Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: “Spidey suit, dinner suit, what’s the difference? Tom Holland has proved he can fill big shoes before, and with a producer he knows well on board for James Bond, he could soon be swapping one iconic character for another."

Theo James is a 39-year-old English actor best known for his suave on-screen presence and action-packed roles. Rising to fame as Four in The Divergent Series, he has since impressed in The White Lotus and The Time Traveler’s Wife. Most recently, he took centre stage in The Gentlemen, Guy Ritchie’s Netflix spin-off, where his effortless charisma and sharp suits only fuelled speculation about his Bond credentials.

Born in Oxford and classically trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, James has long been on Hollywood’s radar. His mix of rugged charm and brooding intensity has made him a fan favourite for 007, but with his odds now drifting, it remains to be seen if MI6 will come calling.
