The next 007<\/a> could be right around the corner, and bookies have a new \u2018red hot\u2019 favourite they think is more likely to step into those shoes.<\/p>\n Names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson<\/a>, Theo James<\/a>, James Norton<\/a>, and Line of Duty<\/a>\u2019s Martin Compston<\/a> are still in the mix<\/a> but one actor has pulled ahead.<\/p>\n Callum Turner<\/a>, who is engaged to Dua Lipa<\/a>, is the new favourite to take over the coveted role, which has been vacant since Daniel Craig<\/a>\u2019s exit in 2021.<\/p>\n The Eternity star, 35, has been mentioned as a contender for a while but his recent role as Elizabeth Olsen\u2019s romantic interest has reignited rumours.<\/p>\n After a surge of betting over the last 24 hours, Coral bookmakers have slashed the British actor\u2019s odds to 7-4 (from 5-2) for the role.<\/p>\n \u2018We\u2019ve been knocked over with support for Callum Turner in our next James Bond<\/a> betting over the last 24 hours. The British actor is now the red-hot favourite for the role,\u2019 said Coral\u2019s John Hill.<\/p>\n \t\t The future of Bond has been a little up in the air after Amazon MGM Studios took over the franchise with Barbara Broccoli stepping away.<\/p>\n A new instalment is confirmed to be in the works with Dune director Denis Villeneuve and Peaky Blinders<\/a>\u2019 Steven Knight attached.<\/p>\n Coral\u2019s current odds have Kickass icon Aaron and White Lotus star Theo are second in line at 3-1, with Henry Caviil at 6-1.<\/p>\n Other favourites are 10-1 on Anthony Boyle, 12-1 for Harris Dickinson, 16-1 for Jack Lowden, and 16-1 on James Norton.<\/p>\n Reg\u00e9-Jean Page<\/a> recently reemerged after months of flying under the radar, but kept his cards very close to his chest<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t \u2018Its not something I\u2019ve thought about very much,\u2019 he told\u00a0Entertainment Tonight<\/a>\u00a0of the rumours.<\/p>\n He explained: \u2018I\u2019m a bit of a racehorse; I focus intensely on what\u2019s in front of me and then go back to the stables and go back to sleep.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just new actors being asked about the beloved franchise, even stars that have already had their martinis shaken not stirred are batting away rumours.<\/p>\n In an interview for the\u00a0GQ Men<\/a>\u00a0of the Year, former 007 Pierce Brosnan<\/a> put to rest any rumours that he could return\u2026 as Bond that is.<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018Of course, people ask about Bond \u2013 \u201cwould you?\u201d and whatever \u2013 but that\u2019s another man\u2019s job,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018But the possibilities of working within that film, entertaining\u2026 So it\u2019s going to be exciting to see what happens.\u2019<\/p>\n Deadline<\/a>\u00a0confirmed that Villeneuve is looking for three things in the next 007: a man, a Brit, and an unknown, effectively ruining the bookies\u2019 odds of the who\u2019s who of major names in Hollywood.<\/p>\n While the exact plan is unknown, it\u2019s likely anyone who signs up will be locked in for a fair few years \u2014\u00a0but maybe not as long as Daniel\u2019s almost 20-year tenure.<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Callum](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GettyImages-2232249147.jpg\")
