With Daniel Craig finally after stepping down from the iconic role as James Bond, there’s rumours floating around..

According to GB News, Damson Idris is the current favourite to take the role, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Rege-Jean Page following closely behind in the betting.

The same report references a tweet which, somewhat bizarrely, shows Royston Drenthe in the running.

At 500/1 he could be considered a rank outsider and it still isn’t clear why he was on the betting slip in any event.

Sensing a decent marketing opportunity, William Hill have got involved in the shenanigans.

“Royston Drenthe hardly set the Premier League alight during his time at Everton, but if recent reports are anything to go by, the Dutch footballer may be trading his shooting boots for a license to kill,” William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said to GB News.

“The former Real Madrid winger has been added as a 1000/1 selection with us to become the next James Bond.

“(This puts) him alongside names such as Piers Morgan, David Beckham and Will Smith for the coveted role.”
