18+ sports betting sites currently have odds for who will be cast as the next James Bond. The range of favorites includes everyone from seasoned actors to budding pop stars.
The James Bond movie franchise started way back in 1962 when Sean Connery took on the soon-to-be-legendary role of 007 in Dr. No, the series’s first movie.
