December 5, 2014 by Gary Collinson

Yesterday EON Productions announced that Bond 24 will be going by the title of Spectre, but despite the fact it’s still the best part of a year away from release, the bookies are already turning their attention to who will be the next 007 once Daniel Craig hangs up his Walther PPK. So, who do Ladbrokes think is going to be the next Bond? Well, the favourite is none other than Idris Elba…

Here’s the odds Ladbrokes are offering on the next Bond…

Idris Elba 3/1
Tom Hardy 7/2
Orlando Bloom 4/1
Michael Fassbender 6/1
Daniel Day-Lewis 8/1
Henry Cavill 10/1
Richard Armitage 10/1
Dan Stevens 12/1
James McAvoy 14/1
Tom Hiddleston 16/1
Jamie Dornan 16/1
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau 16/1
Damian Lewis 20/1
Jon Hamm 20/1
Sam Worthington 25/1
Dominic West 25/1
Gerard Butler 25/1
