Subsequent Bond odds slashed on star gaining on Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Henry Cavill

Who would be the subsequent James Bond is among the largest questions in in style tradition in the intervening time.

It’s been virtually two years since Daniel Craig ended his tenure within the position and for the primary time since 2005 auditions to be the brand new 007 will likely be happening.

As it stands Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Henry Cavill are the new favourites on the bookies to bag the position.

The Kraven the Hunter star leads the best way after rumours that he impressed Barbara Broccoli, whereas Cavill was runner-up to Craig for Casino Royale.

Yet the 2 frontrunners are going through new competitors as odds are slashed on a fellow large star.

BoyleSports have introduced at the moment that Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy’s odds of being the subsequent Bond have been slashed from 14/1 to five/1 over the weekend.

The doubtless Best Actor Oscar nominee could also be virtually 50 however having been directed by Christopher Nolan – a favorite to helm the Bond reboot – means there’s lots of help for the actor on the bookies.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports stated: “There’s been an explosion of interest in Cillian Murphy becoming the next James Bond following his portrayal as J Robert Oppenheimer. This is one gamble we’re happy to see as it would be fantastic to see another Irish man step into the famous spy’s shoes!”

Ahead of Murphy’s 5/1 are Aaron Taylor-Johnson on 9/4, Henry Cavill on 5/2, Paapa Essiedu on 3/1 and James Norton on 7/2.

And simply behind the Oppeheimer star are Regé-Jean Page on 11/2, Tom Hardy on 9/1, Richard Madden on 10/1 and Jack Lowden on 14/1.

Given there’s a joint Hollywood actors and writers strike on, it could possibly be fairly some time earlier than the subsequent Bond is introduced.
