Next James Bond odds new favourite leapfrogs Henry Cavill and Theo James

For the past few weeks, The Gentleman’s Theo James has been the bookies’ favourite to play the next James Bond.

However, he’s now been pushed into second by former No 1 at the odds, Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

This comes as little surprise considering the 28 Years Later star has launched his partnership with OMEGA, the official wristwatch of 007.

Could he have signed on to play Bond, or are the watch company just being savvy in case he is?

Time will tell, and if he is the new 007, we wouldn’t expect an official announcement until after he’s completed his press tour for Danny Boyle’s British zombie sequel next month.

Aex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "It's all change once again in the James Bond betting with familiar face, Aaron Taylor-Johnson now leading the way once again to replace Daniel Craig." As it stands, Aaron is on 5-4, followed by Theo James on 5-2, Henry Cavill on 7-2, Jack Lowden on 8-1, James Norton on 10-1, both Harris Dickinson and Tom Hardy on 12-1 and Callum Turner on 14-1.
