Rumours are circulating that Cillian Murphy is set to become the next James Bond.
Bookies have slashed odds from 33/1 to 12/1 in recent days and fans are losing it.
It's high time we had another Irish James Bond. It's been 16 years since Pierce Brosnan hung up his 007 tux.
Please say the rumour about Cillian Murphy being the next James Bond is true

He's well used to playing bad boys - the 41 year old is currently captivating audiences with his role as gangster Thomas Shelby in TV drama Peaky Blinders.
