Idris Elba is the new favourite to be the next James Bond after rumours he's back in running with bosses
Idris Elba is the new favourite in the next James Bond Betting Odds after reports have linked him to the role yet again.
Elba was as big as 10/1 just three weeks ago when we last reported on the odds, but he has since been backed into favourite.
At odds of 3/1, long time bookies favourite Regé-Jean Page slides just behind him in the betting odds now.
| Next James Bond | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Idris Elba | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Regé-Jean Page
|
4/1 | 20.0% |
| Henry Cavill | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Tom Hardy | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Chiwetel Ejiofor
|
7/1 | 12.5% |
Long standing contenders in the market include Tom Hardy and Henry Cavill who will seemingly always be linked with the role.
Hardy especially has been rumoured to land the role in reports over recent years, but there's been nothing concrete around him.
Rege-Jean Page has long been favourite for the role of Bond
Bridgerton actor Regé-Jean Page was the 10/3 favourite to take over in the role of James Bond over the last 6 months or so, but all has changed now.
Page has had numerous articles written about his ties with the Bond role but he's drifting in the betting market.
Daniel Craig left the role of James Bond after an explosive send off in his last Bond movie No Time To Die.
Craig had starred as James Bond for 15 years, making him the longest serving Bond of all time.
Doctor Strange star Chiwetel Ejiofor has been the biggest market mover in recent months
Doctor Strange star Chiwetel Ejiofor has been the biggest market mover in the Next James Bond market in recent months.
At odds of 20/1 back in May, Ejiofor saw himself at 4/1 in the betting market to be the next Bond, until his recent drift out to 7/1.
Those odds made Ejiofor the third favourite to take over as James Bond at the time, with reports linking him to the role from a variety of sources.
It looks like the rumours were short lived though with rumours of the Doctor Strange actor taking over Daniel Craig's role cooling down.
