Speculation over the identity of the next James Bond continues to intensify, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson emerging as the runaway favourite. His odds have now been slashed to 11/8, with 24% of all recent bets backing the English actor to take over the iconic 007 role.
Taylor-Johnson, known for his roles in Kick-Ass, Bullet Train and Nowhere Boy, has long been linked to the franchise. With Barbara Broccoli reportedly seeking a younger, long-term option for the role, the 33-year-old actor fits the profile — British, experienced, and still relatively youthful by Bond standards.
