Turner edged out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1093951\/\">Aaron Taylor-johnson<\/a>, who had been the favorite for several years.<br \/><br \/>Up to now, there has been no indication from any of the parties involved in the project\u2014franchise owner Amazon, director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0898288\/\">Denis Villeneuve<\/a>, or producers David Heyman and Amy Pascal\u2014as to who would play the iconic role that was originated by Sean Connery in the 1960s.<br \/><br \/>Turner has been acclaimed for his roles in <em><strong>Fantastic Beasts<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Masters of the Air<\/strong><\/em>, and<em><strong> The Boys in the Boat<\/strong><\/em>. The odds of his receiving the nod to play 007 now stand at 27.6%, nosing out previous favorite Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who clocks in at 26.3%. Other possibilities for the role include Henry Cavill, Theo James, Jack Lowden, and Harris Dickinson, but with much smaller odds: Cavill at 11.6%, James with 9.4%, and Lowden and Dickinson tied at 6.1%. Another possibility, Eddie Redmayne, has fallen off the list entirely.<\/p>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<p>Taylor-Johnson, who appeared in <em><strong>Kick Ass<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>Bullet Train<\/strong><\/em>, took on the position of brand ambassador for Omega watches earlier this year. Since James Bond had often flaunted the timepiece in his films, it had been speculated Taylor-Johnson would be taking on the role.

Once considered an outside contender, he gradually worked his way into the top ten, and in recent months his momentum has only increased. Now, for the first time, he has overtaken Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the front runner to become the next 007 with odds of +262. Turner fits many of the qualities the producers are said to be seeking: he is British, his career is on the rise, and he isn\u2019t a household name yet.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Earlier this week, <em>Radar Online<\/em> reported that writer Steven Knight and his colleagues were \u201ctearing their hair out\u2026trying to find a believable way\u201d to resurrect Bond after he\u2019d been killed off in <em><strong>No Time to Die<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<p><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/author\/edward-moran\/\">Check out other articles by Edward.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>@Courtesy of Apple TV +, Masters of the Air Callum Turner, the 26-year-old British actor, has emerged as the likely candidate to assume the role of James Bond, according to several online bookmakers.
