The theme song for a James Bond movie is a big deal, so there's no surprise speculation has already begun over who will sing the next one.

Dua Lipa is one of the names in the mix for the next movie, she's even favourite to sing the theme tune for Daniel Craig's fifth - and final - turn as the secret agent.

The film is set for release in 2020 so there's plenty of time to record the song.

Following rumours she's already begun recording, Dua Lipa has responded, insisting she is not in discussions regarding the 25th theme song.

Speaking on Capital Breakfast at the premiere of Alita: Battle Angel, for which she recorded the track Swan Song, she said it would be a honour to sing the Bond tune.

"Oh my goodness, I would absolutely love to do Bond," she said. "Although this is my first sort of taste of it and it feels really great to get to work on such an incredible movie, it’s such an honour. So, we’ll see."

She added: "I would absolutely love to do it. I haven’t been asked to do it, but I would love to."

The James Bond franchise has a different theme song for each movie, with Adele and Sam Smith singing recent tunes, Madonna, Tina Turner, Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey have sung Bond songs too.

Dame Shirley Bassey has even sung the theme tune more than once - lending her vocals to three movies with Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever and Moonraker.

Last year, Years & Years star Mikey Golsworthy suggest Dua Lipa had been chosen when he expressed disappointment in being overlooked for the latest movie.

"I thought they'd ask us to do the theme song, but alas it's Dua Lipa," he told Radio 5 Live, before adding: "S**t, am I not meant to say that? That's what I heard... I feel bad now, maybe I've ruined everything."

Craig has said Bond 25 will be his last, fans have speculated who will replace the star with Richard Madden, Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston's names all in the mix.
