Cillian Murphy Emerges as Favorite for James Bond Reboot Villain

Amazon MGM Studios now oversees James Bond after producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson stepped down back in February last year. The studio has hired Denis Villeneuve to direct the action sequel, and Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is writing the script.

William Hill lists Cillian Murphy as the favourite to play the lead villain in the reboot, offering 3/1. Colin Farrell is next at 5/1, followed by Oscar Isaac at 6/1 and Idris Elba at 7/1. Pedro Pascal, Tom Hardy and John Boyega are all priced at 8/1.
