It’s been revealed that Tom Hardy is still the odds-on favourite to be named as the next James Bond after Daniel Craig. This news comes to us via The Express who’ve been told this information by the bookies in the UK.
There’s been a lot of talk about who’ll be the next Bond. No Time To Die will be Daniel Craig’s last outing as the British secret agent, so it’s no wonder that people are desperate to know who’ll replace him.
There’s recently been a new name in the ring in Bridgerton star, Regé-Jean Paige, and I do like the idea of him playing the spy. However, one of the names often connected to the role is Tom Hardy, and I’ve been on the record saying that he would be excellent.
