Next Miss Moneypenny Odds: Here are the 12 favourites for the role in the 26th James Bond film - led by Juno Temple and Jodie Turner-Smith

It’s approaching three years since Daniel Craig hung up his tux after starring in his final James Bond film, No Time To Die.

We now know that the next film is in the works, with Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve bagging the director’s chair, following the success of his Dune franchaise.

But we’re still no closer to knowning the cast, with further doubt cast on the recuitment process after Barbara Broccoli and her half brother Michael G. Wilson, who have effectively previously handpicked the Bond actors since the 1990s, signed over ‘full creative control’ to Amazon MGM Studios.

The current favourite to play the British spy is Aaron Taylor-Johnson, but speculation is growing over who will be cast in other recurring roles in the series.

Miss Moneypenny, or Eve Moneypenny as she is now known, has appeared in every film so far, playing a small but important part.

She is secretary to M, the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, and was most recently played by Noamie Harris.

Here are the 12 actresses most likely to be cast as Moneypenny in Bond 26, according to the experts at Gambling.com
