“Everybody is getting excited about the new series of Peaky Blinders and it seems as though [gamblers] are no different,” Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead told the Mirror.
We’ve been inundated with bets lately on Murphy landing the role as the next James Bond and he’s certainly a leading candidate now.”
If/when Murphy signs the dotted line, he’ll be the second Irish Bond after Pierce Brosnan (sure, who could forget?)
As always, the people of Twitter have weighed on Murphy as a potential 007.

Some people can only see him as a baddie, given most of his previous roles.

This guy went *in* on the theory in an attempt to disprove it.
Cillian Murphy is about to turn 43 years old. If we get a 26th 007 movie by 2022 (two years after Daniel Craig's fifth film), he will be 45. Craig was 44 when he made SKYFALL which was essentially an "old man Bond" movie. In other words, Cillian Murphy is not the next James Bond.

I mean, that’s a fair observation.

Nicholas, on the other hand? VERY much here for it.

Basically, he’s too old? Bizarre, given that Murphy doesn’t actually age, but go off I guess.
