Let's hope he saves the world better than he looked after Julia Montague!
As Daniel Craig films his departing film as James Bond, the bookies have revealed the current favourite to take on the role of 007 and it is Bodyguard star Richard Madden.
He has been in the running for some time now but now sits ahead of the pack at 2/1, according to Coral.
"Richard Madden is all the rage with our customers to play the next James Bond as they have been rushing in to back the Bodyguard star to become the next 007 where he looks a perfect fit," said Coral's John Hill.
Meanwhile, Coral has seen some support for Grace Jones to make a cameo performance in the next film where she is now evens (from 5-1).
“It’s been 34 years since Grace Jones starred in A View To Kill but punters feel she will return to make a cameo appearance in the 25th Bond film,” added Hill.
