Fassbender linked with 007 role

By Sean Moriarty
Michael Fassbender is being linked to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond.

In recent weeks the local Hollywood A-lister has seen his odds drop from 16/1 to 5/1 by betting agency BoyleSports.

The Fossa man earned an Oscar nomination in the best-supporting actor category for his role as slave owner Edwin Epps in ‘12 Years a Slave’ back in 2013.

One of his main rivals for the role, according to BoyleSports, is Cork actor Cillian Murphy who is currently available at 14/1 having originally been as big as 33/1 and prompting more rivalry between the two counties.

“Michael Fassbender is the latest actor to be linked and backed to become the next James Bond when Daniel Craig hangs up his boots as OO7 later this year. The man raised in Killarney, County Kerry, is now an 5/1 chance from 8/1 having been as big as 16/1 a couple of weeks ago,” said Leon Blanche, Spokesperson for BoyleSports.

However, a Killarney source who is close to the Fossa actor said: “He won’t be doing that at all – it won’t happen.”

The 2/1 favourite remains McMafia star James Norton although the support for him has dropped over the last few months
