Who Will play the Lead ‘Bond Girl’ in the next James Bond Film?

• Margaret Qualley – 2/1
• Sydney Sweeney – 3/1
• Anna Taylor-Joy – 4/1
• Florence Pugh – 5/1
• Maya Jama – 7/1
• BAR – 14/1

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Maya Jama has been touted to appear in the next 007 film since her appearance in season two of The Gentlemen, and her recent helicopter scene on The Celebrity Traitors has only further fuelled speculation, with Jama suggesting she was ‘low key trying to appeal’ for a Bond role.

“We’ve now cut her to 7/1, making her a serious contender and putting her ahead of the likes of Zendaya at 9/1 and Daisy Edgar-Jones at 10/1.”

“Margaret Qualley now heads the market at 2/1, with Sydney Sweeney (3/1), Anna Taylor-Joy (4/1) and Florence Pugh (5/1) completing the top four and being the only contenders currently ahead of the Love Island host in the betting.”
