1. Rege -Jean Page
The London-born actor came to attention as the Duke of Hastings in the Netflix period drama Bridgerton.
2. Idris Elba
The oldest of the leading James Bond contenders at 50. However, he has shown he has the experience and gravitas to take on leading roles.
3. Henry Cavill
The Superman actor would bring a sense of Britishness to the role in the style of former bond Roger Moore.
4. Chiwetel Ejiofor
Chiwetel has a string of quality theatre, cinema and tv roles under his belt and may be seen as a more erudite Bond.
5. Aidan Turner
The Dubliner is probably fed up with being called a heartthrob after his breakthrough role as Ross Poldark in the BBC historical drama.
6. Tom Hardy
The "biggest star" of the leading contenders, he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for the Revenant, but he missed out to Mark Rylance for Bridge of Spies.
7. Michael Fassbender
Born in Germany the actor has featured in a string of critically acclaimed movies including 12 Years a Slave and Shame.
8. James Norton
Not as well known as his rivals, especially in the US, he has predominately featured in lower-budget movies.
9. Jack Lowden
If the producers wish to select a "new face" to take on the James Bond mantle Lowden who is 32 would be an ideal choice.
Lowden was last seen by many in Capone alongside another Bond possible Tom Hardy.
10. Taron Egerton
The Kingsman and Rocketman actor is towards the head of the betting with some of the best betting sites but much bigger odds at others. Shop around for the best odds on his chance.
11. Tom Holland
If there is an actor whose fame is on the up then Tom Holland who has played Spiderman since 2015 is that actor, a true blockbuster star.
Idris Elba is many James Bond fan's number 1 choice to replace Daniel Craig.
Things To Consider When Betting On The Next James Bond
Producer Albert Broccoli once said that Bond should be played by an actor between 35 and 40 years of age, but as you can see that advice has not always been heeded.
