Next James Bond odds: The leading contenders The bookies have revealed they now have seven names priced 9/1 or shorter to replace Daniel Craig as 007, from Aaron Taylor-Johnson (15/8) to Tom Hardy (9/1), with Henry Cavill (7/2) and Damson Idris (9/2) making up the podium spots.
Fresh-faced newbies like Theo James, Callum Turner and Damson Idris have all stirred interest. (Maybe they'd prefer it shaken.) But if there's one guy with his nose out in front currently, it's Aaron Taylor-Johnson, with tabloid rumours pinning him to a new career in double-O espionage for a couple of years now.
Since Daniel Craig announced No Time to Die would be his last outing as James Bond, there's been intense speculation on who the next Bond will be. In March 2024, the Sun reported Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been offered the role, but no formal announcement has been made yet.
The decision to cast Taylor-Johnson signifies a significant shift for the franchise. Taking over from Daniel Craig, who starred in the last five Bond films, is no small feat, and Taylor-Johnson faces the challenge of redefining the character while honoring its rich legacy.

Is Tom Hardy James Bond?
The new Bond, whoever he may be, will not be revealed officially in “Early 2021”, as Emre Kaya believes. He will be announced in a year or two at a press conference in London, like Craig was, like Brosnan was — like Roger Moore was. So no, Tom Hardy is not the new James Bond.
Summary. Henry Cavill doesn't rule out playing James Bond and says he's not sure whether he's "too old" now. Cavill had long been considered a top choice for 007, but recent reports suggest another actor may end up getting the role. Cavill's starring role in Argylle may have hurt his chances of becoming Bond.
Bond's co-owner MGM was acquired by Amazon in 2022, and long time 007 producer Michael G Wilson assured fans that the character will return: "It's a whole new world," he said in 2022. "We've got to see what happens with Amazon. But there'll always be a Bond.” leaving the page.
007 (Daniel Craig) travels to Austria to look for Mr. White (Jesper Christensen) in SPECTRE (2015). The approach to his hideaway was filmed at Lake Altaussee.
Filming for Bond 26 is scheduled to commence in the summer of 2024 with locations spanning the globe from exotic locales to bustling cityscapes. As anticipation mounts for this electrifying installment, fans can expect a cinematic experience that will leave them shaken and stirred.
Here's your first look at David Corenswet as the new Superman for DC's upcoming film about the "Man of Steel."

Summary. Henry Cavill is too old to play James Bond, already in his 40s. Cavill's notable roles may hinder his ability to make Bond unique. His star power and busy schedule make him a better fit as a Bond villain.
Older mums are also being increasingly seen in the celebrity sphere, with everyone from Janet Jackson — who was 50 when she gave birth to her son in 2017 — to Rachel Weisz — who had her first child with husband Daniel Craig aged 48 in 2018 — making headlines.
What's the age difference between Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz?
The couple first crossed paths in the 1990s before later reconnecting on the set of Dream House. Daniel, 55, plays publisher Will Atenton in the psychological thriller, whilst Rachel, 53, stars as Will's wife, Libby. Prior to finding love with Daniel, Rachel split from her ex-Darren Aronofsky after nine years together.
In 2001, Weisz began dating the American filmmaker and producer, Darren Aronofsky. They met backstage at London's Almeida Theatre, where she was starring in The Shape of Things. Weisz moved to New York City with Aronofsky the following year; in 2005, they were engaged. Their son was born in May 2006 in New York City.
Their disagreements and the rocky relationship may have coaxed Sean Connery to have made the decision to remove Jason from his will. Diane Cilento has iterated that their son has never received a cent from his father and Sean had no intention of leaving Jason a part of his large fortune.
Who Inherited Connery's Wealth? Following his death, all of Sean Connery's assets were distributed to his wife, children, and siblings by his Will Document.
According to the Sun, an inside source said "Bond is Aaron's job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back." At the time (March 2024), the report expected Eon to announce Taylor-Johnson as the next Bond "in the coming days."
