It has been over three years since the release of Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond in ‘No Time To Die’ - with the actor confirming that he was hanging up his tux.
Since then there has been no letup in the speculation over who will succeed him in one of the world’s biggest film franchaises, following in the footsteps of Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan - as well as Craig himself.
People are wondering who will follow Billie Eilish - who won an Oscar for her Bond song No Time To Die - to sing the theme to the as-yet-untitled 26th Bond film film.
Whoever it is will be following in the footsteps of singing greats like Paul McCartney, Shirley Bassey, Adele, Tina Turner, Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatry, Louis Armstrong and Madonna - all of whom have performed songs used in the films.
Here are the 13 favourites to get the job.
5. Dua Lipa
Last year was a big one for Dua Lipa, with the release of her third studio album 'Radical Optimism' and a headline sport at Glastonbury. She's 10/3 to be signed up to sing the new Bond song. | Getty Images
6. Lady Gaga
It's hard to believe that Lady Gaga hasn't already performed a Bond song - although she did win an Oscar for the song Shallow from A Star Is Born. She's a 10/3 shot - the same price as Dua Lipa. | Getty Images
7. Celeste
2019 Rising Star Award BRIT Award-winner Celeste already has form when it comes to movie themes - she was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Song for 'Hear My Voice' from the film 'The Trial of the Chicago 7'. She's 5/1 to add Bond to her musical CV. | Getty Images
