James Bond odds: NEW favourite knocks out 'unpopular' Tom Hardy to replace Daniel Craig
Is Bond going back to Scotland? Sean Connery remains the most iconic 007 of all time, sorry, Daniel, so perhaps the biggest franchise will soon return North of the border. UK bookies have reported a rush on bets this week for a relatively little known Scottish star, who is perhaps still most famous for his actress girlfriend. Meanwhile Tom Hardy “hasn’t proved too popular with punters” recently.
The latest odds from Coral reveal a few shocks.
War & Peace and Mary Queen of Scots actor Jack Lowden has surged past Tom Hardy.
The bookie told Express Online: “Jack Lowden is now 8-1 and his odds have come in a lot recently, from 25-1! So he looks to have been the most popular bet in the last week or so. There has been a steady stream of bets on him.”
Lowden is an Olivier Award-winning actor who has started to make his mark on the big and small screens. Exactly the kind of thing the Bond producers look for.

The 29-year-old is also younger many of his rivals for the coveted role.
Stars like Idris Elba, 47, and Tom Hardy, 42, will soon start ageing out of realistic contention.
Craig will take his final bow as Bond this year. There is expected to be a hiatus of at least a few years before the franchise is rebooted and producers will be looking at a replacement who will have at least ten years in him at the right age.
Hardy has already slipped back to 10-1 in the odds.
Although he is most famous for time-travelling drama (and bodice-ripper) Outlander, Heughan has already convincingly played a British secret agent in The Spy Who Dumped Me, opposite Mila Kunis.
Outlander, meanwhile, will certainly keep the Scottish star firmly in the limelight. There have been eight source novels from author Diana Gabaldon so far.
The immensely popular spin-off TV show is about to launch Season Five, with Season Six already confirmed.
Taking the lead ina popular TV show seems to be the common factor in all the current favourites – except Lowden.
