1xBet’s Odds at 2.5 predict a 40% chance that Zendaya will be the main Bond girl in the next James Bond movie ::: Discover the current Odds now HERE

Zendaya

There is no doubt Zendaya has the star power to drive Gen Zers to movie theaters, which would help the Bond franchise remain fresh and relevant.

Also, she has the acting skills to flourish in any leading lady role and stand out in every scene, like many past Bond girls.

What’s more, her impressive filmography could elevate the cast, as she has appeared in many box office hits, including Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and its sequels, The Greatest Showman (2017), Dune (2021), and Dune: Part Two (2024).

For the above reasons, betting odds have placed Zendaya as the favorite to be cast as the main Bond girl in the upcoming 007 film.

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande proved she is much more than a gifted singer when starring as Glinda in Wicked, and she is set to appear in its hotly anticipated sequel Wicked: For Good.

The role resulted in the “Thank U, Next” singer receiving her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

As a result, she might be eager to explore her acting abilities further, and a 007 film could be a smart choice to show a different side to her on-screen talents.

Selena Gomez

Like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez continues to prove that former Disney child stars shouldn’t be underestimated in Hollywood.

When she is not busy releasing successful albums, the 32-year-old singer/actress enjoys stepping into various roles on the big and small screen.

For instance, she stars alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short in the award-winning TV show Only Murders in the Building. Also, she received much critical acclaim for her recent performance in the Oscar-nominated movie Emilia Perez.

With movie lovers starting to recognize her talents, Gomez might not hesitate to capture a new audience by becoming the next main Bond girl.

It would allow the “Lose You to Love Me” singer to take on a new, more mysterious character, helping to showcase a different side to her.

Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne has been widely tipped to become the next Bond girl since 2017, with many believing she would be perfect for the role.

It was reported that MGM executives were wowed by her impressive performances in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017).

Also, she has the look and acting skills to deliver a strong performance as a main Bond girl.

However, the English model/actress reportedly has her sights set on 007, as she said on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show, “I am trying to be James Bond, that’s the point. Everyone’s saying I’m meant to be a Bond girl, but I’m like ‘No. I’m working on the James Bond aspect first. I wouldn’t mind being a Bond girl, but I’m going for James.”

If you believe Lady Gaga will be the main Bond girl in the next James Bond movie, you could win $2600 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
