James Bond is such an iconic character that it’s always big news when they need to recast the character.
In the last week or so, we’ve heard a lot of Bond news as many people want Idris Elba do play 007, even though a Bond writer thinks he’s “too street.”

Well now it looks like we might have a new frontrunner for the role once Daniel Craig steps down, possibly after Spectre!
Ireland-based online betting firm BoyleSports actually has odds posted on who is most likely to play the secret agent next!
While Henry Cavill is in fourth with 4/1 odds, and Damian Lewis is in third with 7/2, Elba snags the number two spot with 3/1. But surprisingly the number one spot — with 2/1 odds — actually goes to Tom Hardy!
Though he’d be a different kind of Bond, we could definitely get on board Hardy getting his secret agent on — especially over David Beckham who the site HIGHlariously lists at 250/1!
What do you think? Can Tom go from Bane to Bond or do you have someone else in mind? Let us know in the comments (below)!
