Betting agents are convinced they know who will be the next James Bond as a rush of bets have been placed on a British actor. Daniel Craig, 56, announced No Time To Die would be his final outing as 007 in 2019 after appearing as the legendary spy five films.

Despite the next instalment not being expected for at least another few years, speculation has already been rife about who will take on the coveted role. According to bookmakers William Hill, the bets have been placed on Josh O'Connor as the next Bond.

Josh, 34, who won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for his portrayal of Prince Charles in The Crown, was sensational – and sexy – in Challengers opposite Zendaya. Now, with appalling reviews and worse box office for former Bond fave Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Kraven, he is edging ahead in the race to be the next 007.
