No Time to Die is slated to hit theaters in November, and fans are already speculating on who will be cast as the next James Bond.
Daniel Craig has already confirmed that he'll retire from the role after No Time to Die, which marks his fifth outing as 007. The 52-year-old actor is the longest-tenured Bond actor in history, having held the role since Oct. 14, 2005.
A plethora of prominent actors have been mentioned as possible candidates to take the reigns from Craig. There aren't any hints as to whom the series producers could choose, however. Everything is up in the air.
With Craig preparing to step down as 007, the Coral bookmaker has made things interesting by updating the betting favorites to take over as the next Bond.
Starz and Outlander star Sam Heughan was previously listed as the betting favorite. But on Coral's latest betting odds (h/t Callum Crumlish of the Daily Express) Happy Valley and War & Peace star James Norton moved ahead of Heughan as the new favorite at 6/4.
Heughan is now the second highest betting favorite at 3/1.

Tom Hiddleston, who's often been listed as a Bond betting favorite, has the third highest odds at 3/1. Richard Madden and Tom Hardy are fourth and fifth with 6/1 and 8/1 odds, respectively.
Back in December, Heughan shut down the rumors that he would be the next Bond. Interestingly, Heughan later revealed that he auditioned for the 007 role "when they were rebooting Bond 21." Heughan's Bloodshot co-star, Vin Diesel, even remarked that he would "make a good James Bond."
There were rumors that a female would be cast as the next James Bond; this was an idea that Pierce Brosnan (who played Bond in four films) endorsed. However, film series producer Barbara Broccoli has confirmed that a male will continue to portray the role. It's just anybody's guess who that will be.
