The race to become the next James Bond just got a lot more interesting.
According to a new analysis of UK betting odds by Heart Bingo (https://www.heartbingo.co.uk/), a fresh frontrunner has emerged — and he’s pulled ahead of some long-time favorites in dramatic fashion.
At the top of the list? Jacob Elordi.
The Australian actor, best known for his breakout role in Euphoria, is now the clear bookmakers’ favorite to step into the tuxedo. Elordi is currently priced at 5/4, putting him firmly ahead in what has quickly become one of the most hotly debated casting conversations in recent years.
Close behind him is Callum Turner at 13/8, keeping the pressure on. Meanwhile, Aaron Taylor-Johnson sits in third place with odds of 6/1 as speculation continues to swirl around the future of the iconic 007 role.
Further down the list, Theo James lands at 16/1, while Anthony Boyle and Harris Dickinson are tied at 10/1 as the field widens.
Seventh place goes to Jonathan Bailey at 12/1. And in a surprising twist, former long-time favorite Henry Cavill has slipped to 20/1, landing in eighth place after once being widely viewed as the natural successor.
Rounding out the top 10 are James Nelson-Joyce at 14/1 and Damson Idris at 10/1.
While no official announcement has been made by the Bond franchise, the betting market often serves as a real-time barometer of public and industry sentiment. Right now, all signs point to Elordi.
His recent projects and rising global profile appear to have fueled growing confidence behind his candidacy, creating clear daylight between him and several established contenders. At the same time, Cavill’s drift down the rankings signals a noticeable shift toward a new generation of potential 007s.
With Turner and Taylor-Johnson firmly in the mix and fresh names gaining momentum, the race to replace Bond remains wide open — and more unpredictable than ever.
