Just who will be the next James Bond? A couple of years on from the premiere of No Time to Die and fans are still awaiting that official announcement.<\/p>\n
Celebrity names like Henry Cavill and Tom Hardy have been thrown around since before Daniel Craig\u2019s 007 swansong was confirmed as going ahead.<\/p>\n
But now his incarnation has kicked the bucket, just who could be taking on Ian Fleming\u2019s spy next?<\/p>\n
The latest odds are in from Coral Bookmakers who have slashed the chances of their frontrunner doing just that.<\/p>\n
In the last 24 hours, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has received strong support and had his odds cut from 3-1 to 2-1, presumably because of recent rumours that he\u2019s producer Barbara Broccoli\u2019s first choice.<\/p>\n
