Dua Lipa is a 13/8 favourite with a bookies to record the theme tune for the rumoured new James Bond film, Bond 26.
The three-time Grammy Award winner leads megastars such as Taylor Swift (4/1), Rihanna (6/1) and Beyonce (8/1), while Adele, whose track Skyfall featured on the 2012 Bond film of the same name, is also an 8/1 chance.
There are a host of star directors thought to be queuing up to play their part in the Bond franchise, with Christopher Nolan the favourite to direct Bond 26 at 11/4, from David Michod at 4/1 and Gina Prince-Bythewood 9/2. Big names lower down the market include Ridley Scott (18/1), Martin Scorsese (25/1) and Steven Spielberg (28/1).
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps:
“With speculation swirling about the next James Bond film, thought to be titled Bond 26, there’s likely to be a number of musicians putting themselves forward to record the new theme song for the next instalment of the world-famous franchise. Dua Lipa stands above the rest in our market at 13/8 to record the film-opening tune, ahead of an impressive roll call of Taylor Swift (4/1), Rihanna (6/1) and Beyonce (8/1).
“Competition for who will direct the new film is also sure to be fierce and we have Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan as our current 11/4 favourite, ahead of David Michod (4/1), Gina Prince-Bythewood (9/2) and legends such as Martin Scorsese (25/1) and Steven Spielberg (28/1).”
