RUMOR: Damian Lewis Is The Frontrunner To Be The Next James Bond

"Are you a gambling man, Mr. Bond?" According to bookmakers in the UK, Damian Lewis (Homeland) is the odds-on favorite to be the next 007. Keep in mind, this is not word from MGM or Sony, but it is interesting that this actor is such a strong favorite (maybe someone has an inside source?). Check it out!

After Spectre, it is reported that Daniel Craig is contracted for one more James Bond film.  The actor has been playing the role for almost a decade, so him nearing the end of his run as 007 doesn't seem too unlikely. Word from the UK's biggest bookie, William Hill, is that Damian Lewis is next in line to be James Bond. Honestly, I'm not much of a gambler, but if I were to bet, I would put my money on Damian Lewis.

Interestingly enough, fan favorites, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, and Michael Fassbender are mentioned as well:


"Odds for Lewis are as short as 6/4, pushing him ahead of other favorites like Idris Elba (5/2), Tom Hardy (4/1), Henry Cavill (5/1), and Michael Fassbender (7/1)."



Do you think Damian Lewis is a good choice for James Bond? Or is there another you actor would rather see take on the role of the suave super spy? Let your voice be heard in the comments section below.
