Irish Oscar-winning actor 'tipped to be next James Bond villain' as speculation for next 007 cast heats up


Oscar-winner and Peaky Blinders legend Cillian Murphy, 49, is currently leading the pack of odds with an astonishing 9/2.

No Time To Die saw Rami Malek stars as its lead antagonist Lyutsifer Safin, a terrorist chief and scientist driven by a desire to dismantle the criminal group SPECTRE. Before him A-lister Christoph Waltz starred as the villain in Spectre and Javier Bardem played Raoul Silva in Skyfall, an antagonist described as 'up there with the great' Bond baddies. Film-lovers have been patiently waiting to find out when the new 007 movie will be released since Daniel Craig finished his five film stint as the British spy with No Time To Die.
