For the previous few months, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been dominating the following James Bond odds.

This got here after a report that the 33-year-old had impressed Barbara Broccoli at a secret audition.

Since then the Kick-Ass star has been enjoying it coy with regards to 007 in interviews.

However, he’s now been pushed again into second place by Casino Royale runner-up Henry Cavill and a rising star.

The latter pair at the moment are the frontrunners of Sky Bet bookies’ race to be the brand new Bond.

The rising star in query is 31-year-old Damson Idris, a British-Nigerian actor who performed the co-lead within the Netflix sci-fi motion film Outside the Wire and starred in Snowfall.

As it stands he and Cavill are the favourites on 5-2 to be the following Bond, forward of Taylor-Johnson who’s on 2-1.

Behind them is Regé-Jean Page on 3-1, James Norton on 9-2 and Tom Hardy on 8-1.

Further again within the bookies’ race are Richard Madden on 10-2, Paapa Essiedu on 11-1 and each Aidan Turner and Callum Turner on 12-1.

Given the continued joint Hollywood actors and writers’ strike, it could possibly be a very long time earlier than the following Bond is introduced.

Our finest wager could be within the spring on the very earliest, though it has now been nearly two years since Craig’s remaining 007 film No Time To Die was launched.
