The rumour mill has continued to turn around who will star in the next James Bond film and one of the world’s power couples have been fancied to take leading roles in the new film.
Pop star Dua Lipa has been backed into 13/8 to sing the theme song for the new film, while her partner Callum Turner is 7/2 to play 007 himself.
The duo are 12/1 to both feature in these roles, making history as the first couple to pair up for the theme song and lead actor in a James Bond film.
Both face stiff competition for the roles, though, namely Turner who has dual Golden Globe-winning actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson ahead of him as the 8/11 market leader. Taylor-Johnson has headed the market for a long time, with former favourites Theo James (6/1) and Henry Cavill (9/1) beginning to fall away.
James Norton had also previously been touted for the role but the Happy Valley star now find himself adrift at (14/1), although still ahead of some of the biggest names in the business in Idris Elba (25/1) and Leo Woodall (33/1).
You can count on the Next James Bond market continuing to be a lively right up until the announcement as fans anticipate who will be next to fill the 007 role.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Speculation is mounting around the new James Bond film, and we have seen support for couple Dua Lipa and Callum Turner to both be involved in the next movie.
“Dua Lipa has already proven her credentials on the big screen and in the studio, so it’s no surprise to see her odds shorten to 15/8 to follow the likes of Adele and Billie Eilish by singing the next iconic Bond theme.
“Meanwhile, Callum Turner has seen a flurry of support to succeed Daniel Craig as 007 himself – he’s now 7/2 in the betting, behind only favourite Aaron Taylor Johnson (8/11), having steadily climbed the market in recent months.
“As a duo, they’re now just 12/1 to both feature in the film in these respective roles, which would mark a bold and modern new direction for the franchise.”
