Kit Harington has snatched his name back out of the Next James Bond hat.
It remains unknown whether Craig will return for another Bond movie, but after saying that he would “rather slash his wrists” than return during a post-Spectre interview, pundits are presuming it unlikely.
“God, if they came to me I’d consider it, but I think I’m a little way off that,” the 28-year-old told the Evening Standard. Poldark’s Aidan Turner and The Night Manager’s Tom Hiddleston are the favourites to take up the Bond baton with current best odds of 8/13 and 5/1 respectively.
Tom Hardy, Damian Lewis, Idris Elba and Henry Cavill have all been tipped, with Jamie Bell and John Boyega recently joining the list of possibles.
