CALLUM TURNER LANDS 007
The English actor edges Jacob Elordi to inherit the tuxedo, the martini and the license to kill
LONDON, July 20 — The tuxedo fits Callum Turner, an outcome traders priced at 37 per cent as the casting race reached its fever pitch. He beat out Jacob Elordi, the runner-up the wires had backing at 24.
Turner's odds swung hard all week before settling, with $1.3 million riding on the field. Elordi doubled his own number to 24. The rest of the pack — Tom Holland, Cillian Murphy, Charlie Hunnam — never cracked single digits.
Now comes the part no market can price: the film itself. Producers have kept the reboot under lock. Observers say the choice signals a leaner, colder Bond. The gun barrel turns on a new man.
