Actor Paul Mescal is now the second favourite to take on the role of James Bond, according to Ladbrokes bookmakers. Odds have been slashed after his performance in Gladiator II, making him a strong contender behind long-time favourite Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Odds have been slashed by Ladbrokes on the Co Kildare native to be announced as the next 007 after the departure of Daniel Craig.

Things will get very interesting if he overtakes long-time favourite Taylor-Johnson in the near future.
But after his star turn in the Colosseum, the Gladiator II actor’s odds to be the next James Bond were slashed from 10/1 to 3/1 last month. The pair lead a seven-name list of actors all priced below 10/1 to pick up cinema’s most famous licence to kill, including Theo James , Jack Lowden and James Norton .Paul said in 2020: "I’m a huge Bond fan. I think it’s an incredible franchise. But it feels very, very far away from current circumstances."I don’t know. I don’t want to say yes or no. I am a massive fan, and will continue to be, regardless.
