Agent 007, James Bond, is probably one of the most famous fictional spies of all time. The character has been a pop culture icon, through various hit movies over decades amassing a faithful and ever-increasing fan following. Fans of James Bond are still reeling over the absolutely devastating ending of No Time To Die, which saw Daniel Craig’s story as 007 come to a definitive end. Going forward, a new actor is set to take over as the British super spy. And one particular actor from another famous franchise is leading the race by leaps and bounds.
Game of Thrones star Richard Madden, famous for playing Robb Stark in HBO’s epic fantasy and soon-to-be Marvel superhero in the movie Eternals, seems to be the top choice amongst the fans to be the next James Bond. Madden is leading the race by a staggering 9 to 4 odds against his closest competitor, Tom Hardy, who has been long speculated to be the next Bond in line.
Ladbrokes’ Alex Apati said: “It’s all change at the head of the Bond betting with Richard Madden now running away with things as far as the odds are concerned.”
