Fans anxiously anticipate the announcement of the next James Bond actor, which has yet to be made. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Henry Cavill have led the race so far, but now there’s a new rival.
Paapa Essiedu, who was nominated for an Emmy, is now one of the frontrunners for the part, according to the latest odds released by betting giant William Hill. He is now the number three contender, which is a big change in the market.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who secretly tried out for the part, is said to have gotten the most votes. He even acted as the secret spy and shot the famous “gun barrel teaser footage” that has been used in many movies over the years. But nothing is officially set in stone yet.
Henry Cavill, who plays Superman, is another well-known actor who wants to play the part.
According to William Hill, bookies are most interested in Paapa Essiedu, who is now tied for third place with James Norton at 3-1 odds to be the next James Bond.
One reason for the sudden interest in Paapa could be that Broccoli and her team want an actor from a different ethnic group to play 007 so that the franchise reflects current society.
The competition to be the next James Bond is heating up, and fans can’t wait to find out who will play 007.
