Add another name to the growing list of actors rumored to be the next James Bond: Homeland star Damian Lewis.
According to a report in the British tabloid Sunday Mirror, the
actor has been "given an unofficial nod" that he would be the
producers' first choice to play 007 should Daniel
Craig step down
as many are expecting him to. An unnamed source told the tabloid that
Lewis is in if he wants the part.
At this point, it's probably wise to take this report as
seriously as any of the others that have suggested Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba or Hugh Jackman could be up for the role.
Of course, we could definitely see Lewis
as Bond, James Bond, mostly because of the mini-movie Jaguar commercial he did.
It may not have been Aston Martin, but it definitely featured hot women, guns,
eccentric villains and extreme Britishness. Here it is, in case you missed it.
And gamblers are apparently betting on Lewis to make them some money. A couple
months back, Flickering Myth reported that bookmakers had slashed their odds
on Lewis becoming the next bond from 25/1 to 3/1 after a flurry of bets on him.
It's highly unlikely we'll know anything for sure until long
after Spectre comes out on Nov. 6.
