Who Is Going To Be The Next Bond Girl?
Aaron Taylor-Johnson was reportedly offered the new James Bond role earlier this week so it seems like its only a matter of time before his iconic co-star role of ‘Bond girl’ is cast.
Sydney Sweeney currently leads our exclusive odds to be the next bond girl at a price of 5/2, with the ‘Euphoria’ actress enjoying no shortage of work during an extremely busy year.
Although Sydney Sweeney leads the latest betting, the odds are very close at the top of the market with a lot of speculation surrounding the infamous role and who could be cast for the upcoming 007 film.
Rivalling Syndey Sweeney at the top of the market is Jenna Ortega at 11/2, who is another actress to have taken the film industry by storm in the last two years.
After rising to fame with the leading role in Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’, Millie Bobby Brown is another at the head of the market who could take the iconic Bond girl role at the age of just 20. Millie Bobby Brown is currently 13/2 to be cast as the next Bond girl.
Outside the top three in the market there are a whole host of candidates for the Bond girl role, including the likes of more seasoned actresses such as Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone who are available at a price of 40/1 or higher.
Commentary
Liam Solomon, Head of PR for Instant Casinos said on the next Bond 26 cast: “The breaking news of Aaron Taylor-Johnson close to signing on to be the next 007 has shifted the market for the other significant roles in the spy franchise.
“Actress of the moment, Sydney Sweeney, is a new favourite to be cast as the next ‘Bond Girl’. The American has signed on to play a pivotal role in the highly anticipated Euphoria season 3, airing in 2025, rumoured to be the same year Bond 26 will hit cinemas. Oddsmakers predict her star power could start the new Bond era off with a Box Office bang.
“Matthew Vaughn, who directed Aaron under two successful ‘Kick-Ass’ movies, has now been strongly linked in taking the directors chair for Bond 26. The English filmmaker not only has a great relationship with soon-to-be Bond Taylor-Johnson, but has his own successful spy franchise ‘Kingsman’ at the front of his CV.
“Colin Firth & Taron Egerton could be reunited with Matthew Vaughn from their ‘Kingsman’ days – to star as M & Q. With Firth already showcasing his ‘M’ mentoring qualities in the Kingsman franchise, it would be a seamless transition for the two British actors to make up the support team for the new Bond.
“Many are already questioning how long Taylor-Johnson will play the role of Bond. The odds have Aaron to complete less than Daniel Craig’s 5 movie appearances as the British agent. It could be argued that Aaron has more major movie credits to his name than Craig did at the time of taking on Bond, & future franchises like Sony’s Kraven: the Hunter could spell scheduling headaches for the next Bond-to-be.”

Who Will Play M?
Colin Firth and Mark Strong currently head the market for next M role, but nothing is confirmed yet and the odds show that with nobody below a price of 3/1.
Judi Dench most famously played M in the Bond franchise for 20 years and she is the only woman to have ever played the role on screen. The popular Gillian Anderson is 10/1 to become just the second female M.
Ralph Fiennes played M for nine years but he is unlikely to return to the role after saying in the past that he didn’t want to become hated as M, with our exclusive odds reflecting this at 50/1.

Cary Joji Fukunaga directed the hugely successful last James Bond project and the ‘No Time To Die’ director is 7/2 to take charge of the next project that is set to start filming this year.
Sam Mendes is the only candidate on our exclusive odds who has directed more than one James Bond movie, with the Skyfall & Spectre director 16/1 to take charge of a third movie in the franchise.
Kinsgman director Matthew Vaughn currently leads the betting at 3/1 to be the next director, having worked with Aaron Taylor-Johnson on big projects in the past such as Kick-Ass.

- Emma Thompson @ 40/1
- Idris Elba @ 40/1
- Ben Whishaw @ 50/1
Who Will Play Q?
The market for Q’s role is comfortably the most open at the moment, with ‘Baby Driver’ star actor Taron Egerton leading the way at odds of 6/1.
After supposedly missing out on the James Bond role, Henry Cavill is now 10/1 to take the Q role although it seems unlikely for the actor who has played huge roles such as Superman.
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston is 33/1 to make a surprise appearance in the new Bond movie as Q but the role is much more likely to go to a British actor if past films are anything to go by.
Who Will Play Moneypenny?
- Claire Foy @ 4/1
- Emilia Clarke @ 6/1
- Lily James @ 13/2
- Jessica Henwick @ 9/1
- Rosalind Eleazar @ 9/1
- Phoebe Waller-Bridge @ 10/1
- Mandip Gill @ 11/1
- Jessica Brown-Findlay @ 12/1
- Jodie Comer @ 12/1
- Claudia Doumit @ 14/1
- Olivia Cooke @ 14/1
- Lily Collins @ 16/1
- Ivanna Sakhno @ 18/1
- Zoe Kravitz @ 18/1
- Nathalie Emanuel @ 20/1
- Michelle Dockery @ 25/1
- Sophie Turner @ 33/1
- Naomie Harris @ 50/1
Who Will Play Moneypenny?
The role of Money Penny is definitely still up for grabs in the upcoming Bond movie, with Naomie Harris reportedly unlikely to reprise her role. Harris is priced as a 50/1 longshot to be recast as Money Penny.
Emilia Clark is no stranger to playing blockbuster roles having played the Queen of Dragons in ‘Game of Thrones’ for over a decade and the popular British actress leads the odds to be Money Penny at 6/1.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge rose to fame in British award winning comedy ‘Fleabag’ and at 10/1 the actress could be overpriced for a role that would be ideal for her.
