The James Bond franchise is creating market volatility even before casting begins. Adam Driver's odds to play the next Bond villain rocketed from 12¢ to 97¢, while Anya Taylor-Joy jumped 50 cents for Bond girl at 64¢. The moves come as casting director Nina Gold begins the official search for the next 007, with Denis Villeneuve directing and Steven Knight writing the script. Despite the speculation, no actor has been officially announced for any Bond 26 role. The market movements suggest traders are positioning early on franchise rumors, betting on star power even as the film remains years away from production.
