Avengers star Tom Hiddleston is now favourite to play James Bond after Daniel Craig exits the role following the next movie.

Bond 25 will be Craig's fifth and final time playing 007, and while Barbara Broccoli has said she hasn't even thought about his replacement yet fans can't help but speculate who's next to be shaken not stirred.

Bookmaker Coral make Tom Hiddleston their 2-1 favourite to become the next James Bond as he has attracted a flurry of bets over the last couple of days.

James Norton is second best in the betting at 3-1 with the firm, while Idris Elba and Tom Hardy are both 4-1.

While Hiddleston hasn't really commented on being linked to the role, Elba has joked about the rumours and has said he isn't sure he'd want to take up the 007 mantle.

“Tom Hiddleston is proving a very popular choice in our betting on who will be the next James Bond,” said Coral’s John Hill.



"It is easy to see why punters are backing Tom Hiddleston as he looks to tick all the right boxes when it comes to 007," added Hill.
