Claims that Harry Styles is in the running to play James Bond “aren’t even remotely true.”
Rumours had swirled that the former One Direction heartthrob was being looked at by studio bosses to wear the tux after Daniel Craig’s upcoming swansong.
Daniel’s last outing as the super-spy will come in the much-delayed No Time To Die, and speculation has been rife about who will take up the mantle.
Tom Hardy, Tom Hiddleston, James Norton and rising Normal People star Paul Mescal have all been floated.
As has Harry, but now his rep has rubbished the rumours.
They told MailOnline that they’re “not even remotely true.”
No Time To Die has been one of the biggest flicks to be hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, being delayed yet again until April 2021.
It had originally been pushed back to November.
Most recently, the bookies seem to hinting that Tom Hardy is in with the best shot of taking on the role.
Coral’s David Stevens told Mirror Online : “The betting on who will play James Bond is always popular with our punters, with James Norton and Sam Heughan the two most recent favourites, but Tom Hardy has always been close to the head of the betting, and indeed was as short as 6-4 favourite last year.
“If he has landed the coveted role, the bookies will have been left shaken if not stirred.”
Daniel started his spy career back in 2006, with his first entry into the franchise, Casino Royale.
Since he has starred in Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and 2016’s Spectre.
And while Daniel, the rest of the cast and director Cary Fukunaga have kept mum about what we can expect from No Time To Die, some fans reckon they’ve wrangled a particular plot point.
Some fans reckon famous lothario Bond has settled into fatherhood in the film – but those behind the film have kept tight-lipped.
