The name’s Bond… Cillian Murphy?

After a flurry of bets from our punters, the odds are tumbling on Cillian Murphy becoming the next actor to play James Bond.

Murphy now comes in at sixth in the betting with his odds dropping from 20/1 to just 10/1, and is by far the biggest mover of the year to date.

Tom Hiddlestone remains the favourite to take over from Daniel Craig at 5/2 with Idris Elba further out at 5/1 despite being constantly linked with the role.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “The name’s Murphy, Cillian Murphy, if the latest bets in our book are anything to go by.”
