Kendall Jenner has apparently emerged as a frontrunner to become the new Bond girl, with reports claiming the model and reality star is a bookies favourite to take on the iconic role.
That’s according to UK-based bookmaker Coral, which currently has Jenner at the highest odds to appear in the upcoming James Bond film, set to be helmed by Dune director Denis Villeneuve.
Though purely speculative at this point, the bookmaker has Jenner ahead of fellow talked-about stars apparently in contention for the role like Sydney Sweeney, Cara Delevingne and Margot Robbie.
If it did come to fruition, Jenner would succeed other models who’ve portrayed Bond girls across the franchise’s decades-long history, including Ursula Andress, Grace Jones and Olga Kurylenko.
Rosamund Pike, Halle Berry and Ana de Armas have also portrayed the femme fatale character over the years.
The speculation comes just days after Jenner’s mum, Kris Jenner, threw a lavish 007-themed 70th birthday party, hosted at billionaire Jeff Bezos’ home and attended by the likes of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Oprah and Paris Hilton, among others.
Again, any chatter of Jenner’s appearance in the next James Bond movie is purely hypothetical, but it’s not the only tidbit that’s been churned out by the Bond rumour mill in recent times.
In August, there were whispers that the buzzy movie had reignited a feud between Tom Holland and Jacob Elordi, who’ve both been romantically involved with Zendaya and were apparently being eyed for the role as the titular spy.
Elsewhere, a handful of names have long circled the project, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson playing coy when asked about his potential casting and stars like Miles Teller, Harry Styles and Idris Elba also floated around the rumour mill.
As for what we actually know, it has been confirmed that the Villeneuve-directed film will be penned by Peaky Blinders screenwriter Steven Knight, with some reports of a 2028 release date.
It will serve as the follow-up to the Daniel Craig-starring No Time To Die, which premiered back in 2021.
