India, Nov. 30 -- Actor Callum Turner is now a big favourite to take over as James Bond. Bookmakers have sharply cut his odds from 5/2 to 7/4, pushing him past Henry Cavill, Theo James and Harris Dickinson, The Telegraph reported. As per the portal, Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond movie, and the script is being written by Peaky Blinders' creator Steve Knight. Fans are anticipating an official announcement very soon. Turner, 35, is best known for Masters of the Air and the Fantastic Beasts films. His role as WWII pilot Bucky Egan in Masters of the Air received praise worldwide, and films like The Boys in the Boat gave a boost to his success. His high-profile romance with Dua Lipa has also brought extra attention to his name. Speculation grew stronger after Turner and Dua Lipa holidayed in Jamaica this summer. The pair reportedly stayed near GoldenEye, the estate where Ian Fleming wrote many Bond novels. The location is deeply tied to 007's history, and fans took their visit as a possible hint about Turner's future. Dua Lipa even shared a photo of Turner wearing a snorkel. Turner's life story mirrors some aspects of Daniel Craig's journey. Born in Hammersmith and raised by his single mother on a council estate in Chelsea, he shares a working-class background similar to Craig's. Before acting, he pursued football and later modelling in Paris, Italy and Japan. Turner once said he quit modelling because "I wasn't making enough f--g money." His combination of grit, charm, athletic build and striking looks makes him a natural fit for a modern Bond. HTC...
