James Bond: Pierce Brosnan BACKS Tom Hardy to replace Daniel Craig

The incumbent James Bond still has one more movie to go, but speculation has been rife over his replacement.

Craig’s replacement favourite at the bookies is one Tom Hardy, who has now been backed by a former 007.

Speaking with Daily Mail, Brosnan said: “Daniel Craig has been an incredible Bond. He’s very physical, he looks lethal. You genuinely believe this is someone who could kill a man.

“He will do the next movie, and then I think Tom Hardy could be a good Bond.”

As it stands at the bookies Hardy is joint-favourite and 3/1 with McMafia’s James Norton.

Meanwhile Elba’s odds range from 8/1 to 6/1, which is around the same as Poldark star Aidan Turner.

Daniel Craig will return as James Bond in Bond 25, which hits cinemas on October 26, 2019.
