\n\tWith the final James Bond<\/a> screen tests that are expected to take place starting today, bookmakers are placing odds on the next Bond, Bond Girl and theme song artist.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs The Hollywood Reporter detailed<\/a> Thursday, Jack Lowden<\/a>, Callum Turner<\/a> and Jack O\u2019Connell are three finalists expected to test for the highly coveted role of 007. <\/p>\n

\n\tBut while studio Amazon MGM, producers and director Denis Villeneuve may or may not have made up their minds on who gets the role, bookmakers have released odds for anyone willing to enter the casino royale of online betting. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Oddschecker<\/a> \u2014 a leading British betting-odds comparison platform that aggregates odds from established bookmakers \u2014 Slow Horses star Jack Lowden is the favorite heading into the home stretch at 8\/13 \u2014 or a 62 percent chance (we\u2019re just going to translate the odds into percentages so you don\u2019t have to do the math). Masters of the Air star Turner is a bit behind with 25 percent. Disclosure Day star Josh O\u2019Connor is at 13 percent. They\u2019re followed by Richard Madden (11 percent), Jacob Elordi (7 percent) and O\u2019Connell (8 percent). <\/p>\n

\n\tFor the next so-called \u201cBond girl\u201d role, BetOnline has<\/a> The Substance star Margaret Qualley<\/a> at 33 percent, with Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney right behind at 25 percent. Sweeney is tied with Furiosa star Anya Taylor-Joy at 25 percent. Next comes Florence Pugh (17 percent), Zendaya (13 percent), Lauren S\u00e1nchez (5 percent) and Kate Winslet (4 percent). Several others names have around 3 percent odds, including Margot Robbie and Scarlett Johansson.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf course, Bond movies tend to have more than one significant female character for Bond to partner or flirt with, so it\u2019s entirely possible more than one actress from the oddsmakers list could be a Bond girl. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs for which artist will be chosen to write the next Bond movie\u2019s theme song, Raye is tops with 50 percent implied chance, followed by Olivia Dean, Dua Lipa, Sienna Spiro, Lana Del Rey, Oasis and Lady Gaga. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn case you\u2019re wondering about the prediction markets \u2014 which are a bit like bookmaking, but dumber \u2014 the top Kalshi pick<\/a> for Bond is also Lowden, with 64 percent, followed by Turner (28 percent), O\u2019Connor (19 percent), Idris Elba (9 percent), Barton (8 percent) and Robert Pattinson (7 percent).<\/p>\n

\n\tDune filmmaker Villeneuve<\/a> is directing the next Bond outing, with Amy Pascal and David Heyman producing<\/a> for Amazon MGM Studios. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the final James Bond screen tests that are expected to take place starting today, bookmakers are placing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[47116,146,85,46,68037,29345,89783,397],"class_list":["post-655013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-callum-turner","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-jack-lowden","tag-james-bond","tag-margaret-qualley","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
