The Next James Bond market (which just seems to roll on and on) has taken a turn this week. Avengers star Tom Hiddleston is now the odds-on favourite to be the next 007 and Ladbrokes made him the first odds-on person to be Daniel Craig’s replacement.
Idris Elba and Tom Hardy, who have been front-runners at one point or another in the market, are joint second favourites at 5/1 odds* (betting odds taken on October 11th, 2018 at 8:12 pm).
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “It’s looking increasingly likely the name will be Hiddleston; Tom Hiddleston.”
