Next James Bond odds slashed by 70 per cent on Hollywood star in last 24 hours | Films | Entertainment

Coral’s John Hill said: “Since the switch to Amazon, we have seen strong support for American actors to play James Bond. Elvis star Austin Butler is the latest to attract interest, and he is now 3-1 second favourite for the role.” Although Theo James remains this bookies’ favourite to take up the Licence to Kill next on 5-2, Timothée Chalamet is now just behind Butler on 7-2. Also in the odds race, which should be taken with a grain of salt, are: James Norton and Aaron Taylor-Johnson on 4-1, Josh O’Connor on 5-1, Callum Turner on 6-1 and both Henry Cavill and Jack Lowden on 8-1.
