Looks like Callum Turner<\/a><\/strong> is next in line to carry 007<\/strong>\u2019s shaken, not stirred, martini.<\/p>\n That is, if decentralized prediction markets are any indication.<\/p>\n According to Polymarket<\/a><\/strong>, the odds are in Turner<\/strong>\u2019s favor. A former fashion model, Turner<\/strong> is an English actor whose credits include Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them<\/strong><\/em> and The <\/em><\/strong>Boys<\/strong><\/em>. He is also the fianc\u00e9 of one Dua Lipa<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yesterday, the actor received a significant nudge, pushing him way out in front of the pack in running to become the next James Bond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where things stand currently: Turner<\/strong> jumped from 31%<\/strong> to 41%<\/strong> yesterday, but now sits at 26%<\/strong>. Aaron Taylor-Johnson<\/strong> (28 Years Later<\/strong><\/em>) and Henry Cavill<\/a><\/strong> (Mission: Impossible – Fallout)<\/em><\/strong> occupy the next positions, with 4%<\/strong>, followed by Jacob Elordi<\/strong> (Wuthering Heights<\/strong><\/em>) and Harris Dickinson<\/strong> (Babygirl<\/em><\/strong>), who both have a 1%<\/strong> chance of landing the iconic role, according to the betting site.<\/p>\n We should also note that the choice with the highest percentage at the moment is \u201cNo Bond Chosen<\/strong>,\u201d with 51%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In an interview with Variety<\/em><\/strong> in 2014<\/strong>, the outgoing James Bond<\/strong>, Daniel Craig<\/a><\/strong>, addressed the question of who he\u2019d prefer take over the role in his wake.

Five installments later, he ended his tenure with No Time to Die<\/strong><\/em> at 53<\/strong> years old.

I left it where I wanted it to be. And that I was given the chance to do that with the last movie.\u201d<\/p>\n As for Bond 26<\/strong><\/em>, the next installment in the 007<\/strong> film franchise, French-Canadian<\/strong> visionary and Oscar<\/strong>-nominated director Denis Villeneuve<\/strong> (Dune<\/em><\/strong>, Arrival<\/em><\/strong>) is helming, with Peaky Blinders<\/strong><\/em> and A Thousand Blows<\/em><\/strong> series creator and screenwriter Steven Knight<\/strong> adapting the original content supplied by writer Ian Fleming<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Production is expected to kick off late this year, per Deadline<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac <\/strong>SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a> \ud83c\udfac <\/strong><\/p>\n Related: Pedro Pascal Shows Rafael Olarra Some Love on Social Media for the First Time<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Mar 11, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
