Many actors have been linked to the role of James Bond lately. Now that the franchise is searching for a new face for the iconic character, eyes are also on who could be the female lead in the next installment. It seems, however, that fans have already decided that Sydney Sweeney is the perfect candidate. Gambling.com betting expert James Leyfield shared how Sweeney could follow in the footsteps of Eva Green, Gemma Arterton, Halle Berry, Britt Ekland, and Ursula Andress with an "Odds" list.

According to the listing, Sydney Sweeney had odds of +200 and a 40% chance of landing the role, which was the highest. However, after holding the top spot for quite some time, there was a shift in Sweeney's odds, and the Euphoria star’s price was cut to +150, making room for another popular actress who has won hearts in Bridgerton, Nicola Coughlan. Meanwhile, there is still strong speculation regarding Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s casting as 007.

Amid all the speculation, a reporter from the Associated Press asked Johnson the unanswered question at the London premiere of his latest film, The Fall Guy. The British star seemed rather irritated by the question and responded, "You sick of asking the question?”. Without accepting or denying anything, the Tenet star walked off, leaving fans in more confusion. While there is no confirmation regarding Taylor-Johnson’s casting, it seems fans are already envisioning the new Bond Girl, Sydney Sweeney.
