What the expert says...
Long-time favourite Aaron Taylor-Johnson remains favourite at the top of the market
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been in and around the top of the betting market to be the next Bond for what seems like an eternity with previous reports of a screen test.
The Sun reported back in November 2022 that he had done a screen test for the role early in front of Barbara Broccoli and other producers which made him a front-runner.
Taylor-Johnson's odds have shortened in the past few weeks with his odds moving from 3/1 on August 3 to just 7/4 now.

Happy Valley star James Norton recently shut down Bond rumours
Happy Valley actor James Norton has been in the betting market to be the next Bond in recent months but he told Variety back in June that any rumours are nonsense.
Norton said, "No, no, no, none of that. It’s a really lovely piece of clickbait media in the UK and anyone can write any story about it and it will get the most incredible sort of hype around it."
Seems like a clear way of stopping any hype around Norton being Bond but bookies still have him as the third favourite in the betting market to take on the iconic role at 7/2.
