British actor Tom Hiddleston is reportedly in "advanced talks" to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond.
According to entertainment news website birthmoviesdeath.com, Hiddleston "very much wants the job", reports aceshowbiz.com.
"While talks have indeed taken place, and that Tom very much wants the job (a fact of which he's made no secret), no official offer has been made yet," the website claims.
Earlier this week, news surfaced that actor Jamie Bell, who shot to fame playing the lead role in "Billy Elliott", reportedly held informal meetings with producers about taking over from Daniel Craig as the iconic British spy.
