The London-born actor came to attention as the Duke of Hastings in the Netflix period drama Bridgerton.
The oldest of the leading James Bond contenders at 50. However, he has shown he has the experience and gravitas to take on leading roles.
The Superman actor would bring a sense of Britishness to the role in the style of former bond Roger Moore.
Chiwetel has a string of quality theatre, cinema and tv roles under his belt and may be seen as a more erudite Bond.
The Dubliner is probably fed up with being called a heartthrob after his breakthrough role as Ross Poldark in the BBC historical drama.
The "biggest star" of the leading contenders, he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for the Revenant, but he missed out to Mark Rylance for Bridge of Spies.
Born in Germany the actor has featured in a string of critically acclaimed movies including 12 Years a Slave and Shame.
Not as well known as his rivals, especially in the US, he has predominately featured in lower-budget movies.
If the producers wish to select a "new face" to take on the James Bond mantle Lowden who is 32 would be an ideal choice.
Lowden was last seen by many in Capone alongside another Bond possible Tom Hardy.
The Kingsman and Rocketman actor is towards the head of the betting with some of the best betting sites but much bigger odds at others. Shop around for the best odds on his chance.
If there is an actor whose fame is on the up then Tom Holland who has played Spiderman since 2015 is that actor, a true blockbuster star.
Idris Elba is many James Bond fan's number 1 choice to replace Daniel Craig.
Producer Albert Broccoli once said that Bond should be played by an actor between 35 and 40 years of age, but as you can see that advice has not always been heeded.
You can see that Roger Moore was 58 when he starred in A View To A Kill.

The producers seem no closer to making a decision and with no news comes more wild speculation and the addition of more and more possible and unlikely Craig replacements causing some fluctuation to the odds further down the market. The one constant is Idris Elba at the head of the market though. Wagers continue to come consistently for his chance.
