Bond Film Buzz Boosts Betting Markets
With Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight officially on board to write the next James Bond instalment and acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve set to helm the project, excitement is ramping up among fans and betting sites are taking notice.
The Bond Girl, a staple of every 007 adventure, is now the focus of a fresh betting market. Sydney Sweeney, already a media fixture in 2025, is the overwhelming favourite to land the role.
Other big names from film and music are also in contention according to the latest odds from leading betting sites.
Zendaya has featured in Dune which is also directed by Villeneuve which could see her odds tumble down from the 13/2 she's at now to star in another one of his movies.

Sydney Sweeney Dominates the Market
At 1/5, Sweeney is priced as if the casting is close to a done deal.
Her blend of Hollywood glamour, action-ready physique and rising star status has made her a natural fit in bookmakers’ eyes.
With the Bond franchise known for mixing established talent with up-and-coming stars, Sweeney ticks both boxes and is already a popular name but still early in what could be a decades-long career.
Sweeney has been in the news in the past week due to a controversial ad campaign.

Chasing the Favourite
At much longer odds, Zendaya (13/2) is seen as the main challenger.
Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Scarlett Johansson, and Cara Delevingne all sit at 8/1 representing the more speculative end of the market.
Each has the profile to headline global press tours, though not all have recent acting roles that align with the Bond Girl archetype.
