Fans of James Bond are still reeling over the dramatic ending of No Time To Die, which saw the conclusion to Daniel Craig‘s story as 007. Going forward, a new actor is set to take over as the British super spy. For some time, Tom Hardy has been the favourite to don the tuxedo, but it has all changed.

Hardy currently has an impressive 3/1 odds on becoming Bond next.

Just behind him is the Bridgerton star Regé-Jean Page, who has an impressive 4/1.

Ladbrokes’ Alex Apati said: “It’s all change at the head of the Bond betting with Richard Madden now running away with things as far as the odds are concerned.”

Elba has since elaborated on his comments saying: “I say this in jest, but this is my answer to Bond: [Luther] is my big character that lives in the same space as the Bournes, as the Bonds in the world.

“Not in terms of spy works or spying, but this is a character that fights evil and then will stop at nothing to do it.”

Elba went on: “And we created him from scratch. Me and [the showrunner] Neil Cross really ploughed our hearts into making John Luther. And I’ve never been more thankful for a character that keeps going. I love him.

“And it’s a hard character to play. It’s very absorbing, but I’ve liked bringing him to life every time. I’ve loved it.” (Via Esquire)

Page is also followed by fellow Netflix alum, Henry Cavill.

Cavill is currently hard at work on season two of The Witcher, where he plays the titular character Geralt of Rivia.

The British actor currently has an impressive 10/1, neck and neck with Elba.

James Bond No Time To Die is in cinemas now.
