New James Bond Latest Odds: Here are the 14 actors tipped to be 007 - too close to call with Henry Cavill back in race
Aaron Taylor-Johnson had previously been favourite to become the next Bond for months, following news reports that he had agreed to play the iconic role. There's been silence since though, and the lack of an official announcement has cast doubt on his involvement - particularly since Amazon took over creative control of the franchaise. Best known for playing the title character in the 'Kick-Ass' films, Taylor-Johnson also starred opposite Brad Pitt in 'Bullet Train' and is in cinemas at the moment with horror sequel '28 Years Later'. He'd drifted out but is now back to being joint favourite - priced at 2/1 to step into 007's shoes. | Getty Images

Molly-Mae Hague's sister finally ends Tommy Fury feud after doubts over romance
Molly-Mae Hague's sister Zoe has been spending time with Tommy Fury and her niece Bambi - suggesting the family are all getting along nicely after awkward past exchanges Molly-Mae Hague's sister has had a change of heart over Tommy Fury. Zoe is now supporting the Love Island star's reignited romance with boxer Tommy - after previously sharing her fears the relationship was unsalvageable. Reality show fans will recall watching Molly-Mae and Tommy, both 26, fall for each other on ITV back in 2019. They then enjoyed one of the strongest romances in Love Island history - moving in together soon after leaving the villa, welcoming a baby daughter named Bambi in January 2023, and getting engaged six months later. But fans were shocked in August last year - when Molly-Mae revealed the unthinkable - that her romance with Tommy had come to a crashing end after months of speculation about the state of their relationship. By the beginning of this year, however, the couple appeared close together. It comes after Andy Carroll 'splits from Lou Teasdale due to her demands' weeks after public row.

Molly-Mae's sister Zoe, however, had expressed her fears that the relationship was doomed - with her damning opinion being aired in the reality couple's Amazon reality show, Behind It All, in May. Now, three months on, it seems Zoe, Molly-Mae, and Tommy are all getting along swimmingly. Taking to social media over the weekend, the trio shared footage and photos of themselves working out in a gym together - alongside toddler Bambi. Zoe and Bambi could be seen performing burpee exercises together, while further content showed the toddler watching her dad, Tommy, running on a treadmill in the same gym. Molly-Mae shared content alongside an amusing caption, writing: "I think she may feel the same about the gym as I do," drawing attention to Bambi's unimpressed expression while watching her dad exercise. The happy family scenes come just a few short months after the Love Island stars confirmed they were back together. A source previously said of the reunion: 'It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them. "Tommy has been very dedicated so far — if he's on a train, he will FaceTime the moment he gets off. It's the same with any flights that he takes or hotels he's staying in. 'Tommy dutifully phones Molly the minute that he arrives anywhere. And then she likes him to also show her where he is. This has been going on for months now, and Tommy's friends are impressed that he has agreed to it whole-heartedly.' The strict rules were laid down after Tommy had opened up about his relationship with alcohol. He said last year: 'The reason why me and Molly broke up was because I got addicted to alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be any more. 'It kills me to say it, but it's true, I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink, and it is what it is.' Following the confessions, Zoe had shared her concerns over her sister getting back together with the boxer. She said in scenes that aired in the Amazon reality show: "I would always, always, always, 100% be there for her,' Zoe insists in a tense on-camera exchange. 'But, yeah, I do worry for her, and my relationship with her if they would get back together. Definitely. I just want us to get on. I actually don't hate you in the slightest. Like, I feel like you actually hate me." Molly-Mae then hit back: 'No, I don't hate you. But I feel that anger from you towards me, from like, years and years of us sometimes having arguments.' But Zoe refused to back down, warning: 'I think she potentially needs to look into the future and think what's best for her and Bambi. She's got a long, rocky road ahead, unfortunately.' Molly-Mae has even had to hit back at her own fans - who have accused Tommy of not doing enough for his daughter and suggesting Zoe has been more present for her. In an emotional video post, Molly-Mae told her followers: "I've seen so many comments saying 'Zoe is more the dad' I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80 per cent of the week and he is with Bambi the majority of the week. "But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family. I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to."

Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan weigh in on James Bond
It comes after Amazon MGM Studios revealed last month that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight would be taking charge for the next film. Dame Helen Mirren has said that the next James Bond 'has to be a guy'. She told Saga Magazine: 'I'm such a feminist, but James Bond has to be a guy. You can't have a woman. It just doesn't work. 'James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else.' 31 years ago today, Pierce Brosnan became JAMES BOND. — All The Right Movies (@ATRightMovies) June 8, 2025 The Oscar-winning actress, 80, stars alongside former 007 actor Pierce Brosnan in the new Thursday Murder Club film, a cosy crime drama adapted from the best-selling book by game show host Richard Osman. Pierce, 72, agreed with the actress about the next portrayal of Bond and told the magazine: 'Oh, I think it has to be a man.' He added: 'I wish (Amazon) them well. I'm so excited to see the next man come on the stage and to see a whole new exuberance and life for this character. 'I adore the world of James Bond. It's been very good to me. It's the gift that keeps giving. 'And I'm just a member of the audience now, sitting back, saying: 'Show us what you're going to do'.' Dame Helen previously told the Standard that 'the whole concept of James Bond is drenched and born out of profound sexism' and added: 'Women have always been a major and incredibly important part of the Secret Service, they always have been.' In the forthcoming Thursday Murder Club film, the veteran actress plays a retired spy, who is also the founder and leader of the club. Speaking about her character Elizabeth, she told Saga: 'So many women have worked in that world. She's a manifestation of a reality, that's for sure.' Recommended reading: Asked if she is a better portrayal of a spy than Bond, she responded: 'More realistic. But not so much fun as Bond!' She added: 'The great thing about a movie like this is that it reminds everyone, as an older person I have a brain. I have agency, energy, commitment, passion and intellect. It doesn't all stop when you're 40.' Brosnan said the film, directed by Harry Potter director Chris Columbus, would also appeal to anyone who likes the film series about wizardry and added: 'This is like a Harry Potter retirement home.'
