Next James Bond Betting Odds: Happy Valley star James Norton now into 5/2 to be the next Bond with announcement expected at some point this year!

Happy Valley star James Norton is now into 5/2 third favourite to be the next James Bond

The next James Bond betting market continues to have more new entries and market movers and bookies have shortened odds even further this week.

James Norton has been the biggest market mover in the past few weeks in the market with his odds tumbling down from 7/1 to just 5/2 to be the next Bond.

Norton has been a popular figure in British television already this year for his role as Tommy Lee Royce in the final series of Happy Valley.

According to the latest betting odds from William Hill there's now a 28% chance of Norton taking over from Daniel Craig in the famous role.

Henry Cavill and Aaron Taylor-Johnson now joint favourites at 2/1

Henry Cavill and Aaron Taylor-Johnson lead the way at the top of the betting market to be the next Bond with both actors 2/1 to get the role.

The pair have been fighting it out at the top of the market for the last few months now with both actors going into favourite at some point.

Taylor-Johnson was the latest to go into 6/4 to be Bond after rumoured screen tests went well towards the end of 2022.

Bookies also give odds that the James Bond franchise goes to streaming only

The way we watch movies is changing constantly and there are odds on the Bond franchise going streaming only at some point this year.

The latest betting odds say there's a 22% chance that James Bond will be streaming only going forward with the movies having a spell on Amazon Prime Video back in 2022 potentially hinting at that.

At odds of 7/2, Betway say there's a good chance that the franchise goes to streaming only but it'll likely need Box Office figures to keep making the films.
