Roarty continues: "The race to be cast as the next Bond girl could be one of the more interesting subplots, with Sydney Sweeney (3/1) and Millie Bobby-Brown (6/1) the two high-profile frontrunners for the casting." 

Odds for who will direct the new film have Cary Joji Fukunaga as the current favourite at 5/2, after previously overseeing Daniel Craig’s last 007 movie, No Time To Die, whilst Edgar Wright 4/1 comes in a close second.

Roarty added: "Away from the screen, No Time To Die director Cary Joji Fukunaga is the 5/2 favourite to take the reins for a second successive Bond excursion, though the franchise could also explore a slightly different genre with Edgar Wright (4/1)."
