Scott Rose-Marsh 8/1 in next Bond betting after reported audition

Southampton-born actor Scott Rose-Marsh has emerged as one of the biggest movers in the race to become the next James Bond, with his odds shortening significantly as speculation around the future of the iconic 007 role continues to build.

The rising star is now priced at 8/1 with William Hill, placing him among the leading contenders in the bookmaker’s market following a surge of interest from fans and industry watchers. The move marks a major rise in attention for Rose-Marsh, who has quickly become one of the more talked-about names linked with the next chapter of the Bond franchise.

With producers searching for the actor who will take over the licence-to-kill mantle from the previous era, the race to play Britain’s most famous spy remains one of the biggest talking points in entertainment. Rose-Marsh’s growing profile and recent momentum have helped push him firmly into contention as speculation continues over who could step into the role.

Bet on Next James Bond after Daniel Craig:

Callum Turner EVS

Aaron Taylor Johnson 6/1

Jacob Elordi 15/2

Harris Dickinson 8/1

Scott Rose-Marsh 8/1

BAR 14/1

The market is headed by Callum Turner at even-money, making him the clear favourite in the latest betting odds. However, second favourite Aaron Taylor-Johnson is available at a much bigger price after drifting out to 6/1, suggesting there has been a shift in confidence among punters. Jacob Elordi remains a strong contender at 15/2, while both Harris Dickinson and Rose-Marsh have now joined the leading group at 8/1.

The movement in the market highlights an increasingly competitive race, with several names still firmly in contention. Turner’s position at the top suggests he is currently viewed as the frontrunner, but the gap between the favourites and the chasing pack leaves plenty of room for further changes. Taylor-Johnson’s longer odds could represent value for those still backing his chances, while Elordi, Dickinson, and Rose-Marsh continue to attract attention as potential challengers.

With interest building and the market remaining open, further developments could see more movement among the contenders as speculation continues.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Scott Rose-Marsh is one of the standout movers in our next James Bond market this week. Having not featured among the main contenders in our previous update, he’s now into 8/1 following reports that auditions for the role got underway last month and that he was among those to step into the room.

“Bond betting always reacts strongly to credible industry speculation, and punters have clearly taken notice. Callum Turner has established himself as the market leader at even-money, but Rose-Marsh’s emergence at 8/1 puts him firmly among the leading contenders and adds a fascinating new dimension to the race.”
