- Jacob Elordi linked to 2026 screen test for the next James Bond
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson remains odds-on favourite at 8/11 with William Hill
- Callum Turner (7/2) and Henry Cavill (4/1) lead the chasing pack
Speculation around who will succeed Daniel Craig as James Bond has intensified again, with Jacob Elordi reportedly under consideration by Amazon MGM for the role of 007 and moving into the latest market with UK Betting Sites.
According to reports from Fiction Horizon, Elordi is expected to undergo a screen test in 2026, which will include the traditional tuxedo fitting and action sequence assessments.
Director Denis Villeneuve, who is confirmed to helm the next Bond instalment, is said to have input in the decision-making process.
While Amazon MGM has declined to comment, industry insiders suggest Elordi’s name has entered internal discussions for the franchise’s next reboot though no official offer has been made.
William Hill have installed Elordi at 16/1 in the Next James Bond betting odds with the market placing him as 6th favourite.

Elordi Joins the 007 Conversation
At just 28 years old, Australian actor Jacob Elordi has become one of Hollywood’s rising stars, with standout roles in Euphoria and Priscilla.
His height, presence, and versatility have led some industry observers to tip him as an unconventional but intriguing choice for the world’s most famous spy.
However, at 16/1, bookmakers are yet to be convinced he’ll land the role ahead of more established contenders.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson remains the strong odds-on favourite (8/11) to take over the Bond mantle, with growing rumours that he has already completed a successful audition process earlier in 2024.
Sources in the film industry have consistently positioned him as Barbara Broccoli’s preferred option.

Cavill, Turner and Others Still in Contention
Callum Turner (7/2) has quietly emerged as a strong alternative. His acclaimed performances in Masters of the Air and Fantastic Beasts have bolstered his reputation and he remains popular with punters.
Henry Cavill (4/1) continues to feature among the frontrunners, having narrowly missed out on the Bond role before Daniel Craig was cast.
His high profile and previous spy roles including The Man from U.N.C.L.E. ensure he stays in the mix.
Further down, Theo James (10/1) and Tom Holland (12/1) remain speculative longshots, while Elordi’s price of 16/1 reflects growing public interest rather than confirmed movement from MGM.
