Margot Robbie favorite to be next Bond girl

Suicide Squad star Margot Robbie is favourite amongst the bookies to be named as the next Bond girl.

While it’s still to be announced who will take on the role of James Bond himself, Robbie is the frontrunner to play the secret agent’s main love interest.

According to Paddy Power, she is 12/1 to take on the part, ahead of Emily Blunt at 16/1 and Emily Ratajkowski at 22/1.

Robbie first made a Hollywood name for herself alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street. She also impressed recently in The Legend of Tarzan, while next week sees her biggest role to date, as she plays Harley Quinn in DC’s Suicide Squad.

But who will be the next 007? Well earlier this month, James Norton overtook Aidan Turner and Tom Hiddleston to become the bookies favourite.

So who would you like to see as the next Bond? And do you think Robbie would make a good choice alongside him? Her upcoming performance in Suicide Squad may help you decide when it hits screens on August 5th and until then you can check out a featurette of her character below:
