Last week, new James Bond producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman announced Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight will be the screenwriter on Denis Villeneuve's 007 reboot.
Yet Amazon MGM Studios are yet to reveal which star will bag the most coveted role in Hollywood.
Nevertheless, Daniel Craig's successor may now be odds-on in the bookies' race.
28 Years Later star Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been cut from 5-4 to 1-2 following strong support with bookmaker Coral over the weekend.
Coral's John Hill said: "Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the red-hot favourite to become the next James Bond, and we continue to be knocked over with support for the British actor in our betting."
Take it all with a pinch of salt but here are the others in the bookies' running: 5-1 Theo James, 5-1 Jack Lowden, 11-2 Henry Cavill, 6-1 Scott Rose-Marsh, 13-2 Tom Holland, 8-1 Aaron Pierre, 8-1 Harris Dickinson, 12-1 Jacob Elordi, 12-1 James Norton, 16-1 Callum Turner, 16-1 Sam C Wilson, 20-1 Tom Hardy. Villeneuve is currently shooting Dune Part 3, so we'd assume an official 007 actor announcement won't land until later in the year.
