Maya Jama is 5/1 to star in the next James Bond film
Maya Jama has been cut to 5/1 from 7/1 with William Hill to play the lead ‘Bond Girl’ in the next James Bond film after stepping down as the host of Love Island.
Margaret Qualley is the 2/1 favourite to take on the role, followed closely by Sydney Sweeney and Anna Taylor-Joy at 10/3 and 4/1 respectively.
Nothing separates Florence Pugh and Maya Jama who are both 5/1 chances, while Zendaya is a bigger price at 9/1.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Maya Jama has seen her odds cut to 5/1 from 7/1 to land the Bond Girl role in the next 007 film after taking a step back from her Love Island hosting duties.
“The market now has her level with Florence Pugh (5/1) and with the pair trailing Margaret Qualley (2/1), Sydney Sweeney (10/3), and Anna Taylor-Joy (4/1), this is far from a done deal.
“Having stepped down from Love Island, Jama could be eyeing some major roles, and with filming for the next Bond set to commence throughout 2027, she’s likely to have 007 in her sights.”
