Markets with UK Betting Sites have remained open throughout the year for the next Bond and there's yet another leader for the iconic role.
The Masters of the Air and Fantastic Beasts actor leads the race to replace Daniel Craig, with new market entrant James Nelson-Joyce making an immediate splash among the contenders.

James Nelson-Joyce Shakes Things Up
Liverpool-born actor James Nelson-Joyce, known for gritty roles in The Outlaws and Blue Lights, is the latest addition to the Bond betting market entering at 5/1.
While not a household name just yet, his rising profile and distinctive screen presence have fuelled speculation that he could be a left-field yet inspired casting decision.
What the expert says...
Who Else Is In The Frame?
Still a strong contender, Aaron Taylor-Johnson was the long-time market leader and continues to impress producers behind the scenes.
Henry Cavill is a fan favourite and former Superman, but possibly considered too high-profile for the Bond reboot approach.
Jonathan Bailey has starred in Wicked for the past 12 months and could now switch to the Bond role in the near future.
Theo James has undeniable charisma and the look of a leading man.
When Will We Know?
There’s still no official announcement on when Bond 26 will begin production or who will don the iconic tuxedo.
But with the betting market tightening around Callum Turner, fans are growing more confident that a decision could be imminent.
With the Bond franchise aiming for a creative reboot post-Craig, it's likely the next 007 will lead the series into a new era and Turner fits the bill both physically and commercially.
