James Bond’s next villain ‘revealed’ Colin Farrell

James Bond’s next rival has been ‘revealed’ in new research to be Colin Farrell – with Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan following as top candidates.

As rumors continue to swirl about who could follow in the footsteps of Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore, new research from Betway predicts that the top contender for James Bond’s next villain will be Colin Farrell.

Betway used a supercomputer to determine who was most likely to clash with 007 in the next film. The predictions are based on various characteristics of past actors, such as their gender and age at the time of the film.

Leading Irish actor Colin Farrell could appear as the next villain in the next Bond release, with the highest probability at 15.8%. With the second highest probability of 13.8%, ‘Dune’ star Oscar Isaac followed as another contender for the role.

After winning many awards for his performance in “Oppenheimer”, and with fans waiting for his return as Thomas Shelby next year, Cillian Murphy wasn’t far behind in predicting Bond’s next enemy with 9.6%.

Barry Keoghan, who has had his fair share of film success with ‘Saltburn’ and ‘Banshees of Inisherin’, the Dublin-born star earned his place in the top four contenders for the role with an 8.5% chance.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who was speculated to be the next 007, was also a top contender (7.3%) for Bond’s emerging foe, alongside Pedro Pascal (8.2%).

Meanwhile, research from Betway found that Stanley Tucci (3.6%), Emma Corrin (3.8%) and Willem Defoe (3.4%) are the least likely stars to appear in the upcoming release as the latest Bond rival.
