Other big names follow behind in the betting market

Henry Cavill – a fan-favourite for years for the role – remains close behind at 2/1. Despite strong public backing, Cavill’s packed filming schedule could work against him.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, once tipped as the next 007 after rumoured screen tests last year, has drifted to 5/1. 

James Norton and Harris Dickinson continue to feature as dark horses, but neither has seen significant recent movement.
