Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “There’s been a big move for Chris Hemsworth seemingly out of nowhere and the odds safest there’s every chance he’ll soon be replacing Daniel Craig as 007.”
Hemsworth comes straight in on a par with the likes of Henry Golding, Idris Elba and Jamie Bell, all of whom have odds of 10-1 for the next 007.
Meanwhile, Heughan still looks likely to bring Bond to his Scottish roots and is the clear favourite at 5-2.
Hot on the Outlander actor’s heels are James Norton, Madden and Hiddleston, all priced at 5-1.
