Next James Bond Odds

If there is anyone on the odds to be next James Bond list who boasts a wealth of experience, it's Tom Hardy. The 44-year-old has been in tons of movies and he no doubt also has much of the public vote as well considering the movies he has been in. Fan favourite movies like playing Eddie Brock in Venom and the Kray twins in Legend, show the diversity of the Londoner in his acting career.

Hardy has also played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises and Al Capone in Capone, while roles such as Tuck Hansen in the action rom-com of two spies gunning for the same women show his 007-esque abilities too.

At 44, fit as a fiddle and not too bad on the eye either, Hardy would make a perfect fit for the next James Bond and he is one of the favourites to do so at 3/1.

Similar to Hardy, Idris Elba has a whole host of roles he can bring to the table to persuade Eon Productions to give him the reign as the next James Bond. Elba, also from London, would be the first black James Bond from its 27 films thus far and as of May 2019, his films have grossed over $9.8 billion at the global box office, including over $3.6 billion in North America which makes him one of the most well-known and wealthiest actors in history.

Elba has played characters like Nelson Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and Bloodsport in The Suicide Squad. The Brit has done plenty of voice acting work, and a lot of Elba's filmography see him play roles a little distant from the 007 characteristics, with a few superhero/supervillain movies on the list.

In the UK, Elba famously played Luther, DCI John Luther, which is about as close to an MI6 agent as he has played.

Both Elba and Hardy bring to the table a tremendous wealth of acting experience in numerous roles, Rege-Jean Page does not at 31 years old and just eight movies on his CV, none of which he has starred in. Nevertheless, despite that fact, perhaps this is what they are looking for; a younger Bond.

Page has played in main roles like Simon Basset in Bridgerton and Leonard Knox in For The People and despite having nowhere near close enough experience in contrast to the aforementioned names, Page is the 5/2 favourite for the role of the next James Bond right now.

Many will know about James Norton from his roles like Tommy Lee Royce in Happy Valley and Sidney Chambers in Grantchester. Norton also played Prince Andrei Bolkonsky in War & Peace, did an episode in Black Mirror and most recently, Alex Godman in McMafia and Stephen Ward in The Trial of Christine Keeler.

The Brit has starred in films like Mr Jones, where he played Gareth Jones, and John in Nowhere Special and George Claire in Things Heard & Seen. Similarly to Page, however, there doesn't seem to be much of a '007' nature to these roles and despite his odds for the next James Bond sitting at 3/1, surely production will look elsewhere.
