The future of James Bond still remains unclear with fans desperately waiting to find out the next actor to play 007.

Producers are also on the hunt for the next Bond girl, and Eve Hewson has emerged as the new favourite to take a starring role opposite Daniel Craig’s super spy successor.

The Perfect Couple actress, whose famous dad is none other than U2 legend Bono, impressed fans with her role as Amelia Sacks in the Netflix mystery series, and it could be her ticket to one of the film world’s most coveted parts.

Gambling.com has her in the lead with odds of 6/4, although the Behind Her Eyes star is yet to address the idea herself.

She’s just ahead of White Lotus star Sydney Sweeney in the rankings, with the Euphoria actress still remaining a strong favourite at 13/8 after months of speculation.

Her roles in the likes of Euphoria and Madame Web have turned her into one of Hollywood’s most wanted stars.

They could both be facing stiff competition from Duchess actress Charlotte Kirk, who is third in the bookies’ list at odds of just 7/4 after giving a very coy response following a leaked casting call suggesting she’s in the running.

‘I am sworn to secrecy, I have to be very careful what I say,’ she told the Sunday Express. ‘I really like your readers, but I don’t want to have to kill anyone! Nothing is a hundred per cent, but it will just be an honour.’

Any potential Bond girl would have to screen test with whoever replaces Daniel Craig, but Charlotte did offer some insight into how the role evolved with Ana de Armas in No Time To Die.

‘This is a new era. Ana set such a standard with girls for Bond girls, showing that they aren’t just this sexy object for Bond to play around with,’ she added.

Fans are eagerly awaiting who will be following in the footsteps of the likes of Halle Berry, Michelle Yeoh, Ursula Andress and Lea Seydoux, and Michelle Keegan has also been in the running.

Jodie Corner, Kaya Scodelario, Molly Gordon and Grace Van Dien have also being thrown into the mix.

When it comes to Bond himself, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been heavily linked to a stint as 007, with James Norton, Henry Cavill and Regé-Jean Page also thrown into the ring.

Meanwhile, Idris Elba immediately poured ice cold water on suggestion he could step into the coveted tuxedo.
