Top Contenders for the Next James Bond
Who Are the Top Contenders for the Next James Bond?
Whether you're a big fan of the James Bond franchise or not, you've likely heard that Daniel Craig will soon be joining a list of former James Bond actors. After the release of "No Time To Die" in 2021, Craig is hanging up his pistol. Are you wagering on who the new James Bond will be? Here are our top contenders for the role.
Tom Hardy
If you're not a risk-taker, Tom Hardy is your best bet as the next James Bond. Rumor has it this British heartthrob has already been cast and the announcement is forthcoming. We have his odds at 2.25, but don't take our word for it. Ask the internet who they think will be the next smooth-talking ladies' man and you're sure to hear Hardy's name.
James Norton
With just slightly lower odds than Tom Hardy, James Norton is a close second contender. He's most well-known for his role on Masterpiece Theater's Grantchester, but he definitely has the swagger, looks and charm to be a Bond. With 3.50 odds that Norton will get the part, he's not a bad bet.
Rene-Jean Page
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've likely heard about Netflix's hottest new period drama, Bridgerton. Page stars as the dreamy Duke of Hastings, and his growing popularity has increased the odds that he'll become the new James Bond. Many fans are hoping to see an actor of color reprise the role, so it makes sense that his odds are now at 4.33.
Idris Elba
Tall, dark and handsome are all words that have been used to describe Idris Elba, and that's why he's a good choice as the newest guy in the suit. With his odds at 5.00, he's not a bad actor to place your best on if you're willing to take a little risk.
These actors could all easily slip into the role of James Bond, but you'll have to place your bets at Nicer Odds then wait and see.
