"I'm too messy for that," the 'Kingsman' star said about being Denis Villeneuve's 007. "Also, it’s possibly not quite the thing that would make me happiest; it kind of consumes your life."

The top contender, according to Vegas Insider, is British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“28 Years Later”), who leads the top 15 with 239/100 odds of being the next Bond. The outlet notes, however, that Taylor-Johnson’s age (35) could be a strike against him. The data also reflects an implied probability of Taylor-Johnson’s casting as 29.5%.

Taron Egerton has ruled himself out of playing James Bond, saying he's "too messy" to star as the polished super spy.
