Next Bond Girl Odds: Trio In Contention After Amazon Takes Creative Control
James Bond fans have been patiently waiting nearly four years for some concrete information ahead of the potential 26th film in the franchise - and finally there is some.
Movie series producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli recently made the shock announcement they are stepping back from the franchise and they have now teamed up with Amazon MGM Studios, who will take creative control of the Bond movies.
In September, it will be four years since Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond, in No Time To Die, but fans might not have long to wait to find out who his successor will be.
While the term "Bond Girl" appears to be fading out, the tradition of a female lead in the suave spy's movie series doesn't look like going anywhere fast.
Following Amazon's Bond takeover, some stars from the studio's big movies - Challengers, Saltburn and Blink Twice - have been heavily linked on betting sites to a leading lady role in the next 007 movie.
Zendaya Is The Frontrunner
She was involved in a love triangle as character Tashi Duncan in Amazon MGM Studios tennis movie Challengers last year, but Zendaya could soon be heading to the likes of the Bermuda Triangle if she lands a role as the next Bond Girl.
The Euphoria star - who received a Best Actress nod at the Golden Globes for Challengers - is the 7/4 favourite on betting apps to land a huge part in the next 007 film.
She is no doubt part of Bond bosses' wish list and it could also help that her Challengers co-star Josh O'Connor is thought to be in the mix to portray the suave spy next.
If O'Connor is handed the keys to Bond's next supercar this could be a positive for Alison Oliver.
Best known for appearing in Amazon's 2023 hit movie Saltburn, 4/1 chance Oliver is also O'Connor's girlfriend.

Blink Twice And You're A Bond Girl
Channing Tatum was among the leading cast members of Amazon's psychological thriller Blink Twice last year, under the stewardship of director Zoe Kravitz.
Mad Max: Fury Road star Kravitz - who is the daughter of superstar singer Lenny Kravitz - is 5/2 to land a Bond Girl role in the next 007 movie, but a couple of the actresses she directed in the film are also in with big chances.
Naomi Ackie, who was the movie's leading lady as animal-themed nail artist Frida, could soon be swapping painting nails for painting the town red with 007. Hopefully she likes martinis.
Ackie is just 2/1 to land a part in the 26th Bond movie, while her Blink Twice co-star Adria Arjona is 4/1.
Arjona played reality show star Sarah in the Amazon film and another Bond Girl contender who is no stranger to reality TV stars is Michelle Keegan.
The Fool Me Once actress - who is currently expecting her first child with husband Mark Wright, a former The Only Way is Essex star - is 8/1 to be the next Bond Girl, while Jodie Comer (9/1) and Florence Pugh (10/1) are also outsiders.

Kaley's Bond Girl Role Play
But The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco looks to have a better chance of appearing in the next Bond motion picture.
She is known to Amazon after leading the cast of the studio's action-comedy movie Role Play last year.
If that wasn't enough, Cuoco portrayed a secret assassin in the movie, which could be the perfect training ground for the next Bond girl.
She is 7/2 to land the part, but Bond's new bosses might also be looking to the Oscars' Best Actress shortlist to find a potential leading lady.
One of the stars of the moment is Anora's Mikey Madison, who won the Leading Actress accolade at this year's BAFTA Film Awards.
Madison will be hoping to clinch her first-ever Oscar at Sunday's ceremony and she is 3/1 to follow the Academy Awards up by landing a role as the next Bond Girl.

Demi Moore looks set to pip Madison to the Best Actress prize if the latest prices are anything to go by, but her The Substance co-star Margaret Qualley (9/2) has a good chance of landing a Bond Girl role soon, as does Saoirse Ronan (5/1), who has expressed previous interest in joining the franchise.
What's more, Felicity Jones - who is up for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for The Brutalist - is 13/2 to be the next Bond Girl.
