We still don\u2019t know when we\u2019ll get an official announcement but speculation continues to grow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
over who will take on the legendary role of agent 007. It is considered one of the most<\/p>\n\n\n\n
glamorous roles in the industry and now the big question remains who will take the mantle from<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel Craig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Producers of the British spy series are trying to secure an actor who can sign on for a multi-film<\/p>\n\n\n\n
deal and are looking for someone under the age of 40. So Aaron Taylor-Johnson makes sense<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the betting odds reflect this. The 33-year-old has been featured in several films and also<\/p>\n\n\n\n
played John Lennon in Nowhere Boy. Taylor-Johnson also won Best Supporting Actor Golden<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Globe for his role in Nocturnal Animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the last few years Tom Hardy has been near the top of the betting board. The public loves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this choice but others may not agree. He definitely has the star power, and British background<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but he\u2019s older than what producers are looking for. Hardy is 44-years-old, a bit over the \u2018under<\/p>\n\n\n\n
40\u2019 range they are seeking. And at 5-foot-9 he\u2019s shorter than Daniel Craig so perhaps this<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wager is one to avoid despite his short odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Henry Cavill has always been in the running for this role but he turned 40 last year and now<\/p>\n\n\n\n
could be more of a longshot to become James Bond. He has taken on massive roles in recent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
years playing Superman, Sherlock Holmes and Napoleon Solo in the film adaptation of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1960s TV spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. So he has the experience of playing a spy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
character. He also was in Mission: Impossible – Fallout and will be in another action spy film<\/p>\n\n\n\n
later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Damson Idris received glowing reviews for his role in Snowfall, where he played teenage drug dealer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Franklin Saint. The series followed Saint in the 1980\u2019s in L.A. with the rise of crack cocaine. The<\/p>\n\n\n\n
32-year-old from London hit the screen in 2016 in the British thriller City of Tiny Lights and the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
following year made his American debut in the film Megan Leavey. Idris has won the Emerging<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talent Award at the Screen Nation Film and Television Awards and could be a bit of a sleeper to don<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the Bond tuxedo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
