2021's James Bond film, No Time to Die, marked Daniel Craig's final appearance as the MI6 agent. Since then, predictions of the next actor to play the iconic role have yielded a lot of names, one of them being Dan Stevens.
The 40-year-old actor is currently tipped as the fifth-most likely choice to become the next James Bond actor.
According to odds data collected by VegasInsider.com, Dan's odds are 6/1, with an implied probability of 14.29%. His odds have greatly improved in comparison to the beginning of the year, when they were 20/1. A VegasInsider spokesperson commented on this, saying, "Stevens had quite a few projects in 2022 that have raised his profile - Gaslit, Welcome to Chippendales, Cabinet of Curiosities - but it has happened before that someone rose quickly to the top of the candidates' list and disappeared as fast, so the next few weeks will tell whether he is sticking around."
The British actor first drew international attention for his role as Matthew Crawley in the British historical drama series Downton Abbey. However, Stevens had to leave the series in the third season as he was afraid of being typecast in future roles.
