Tom Hiddleston to be next James Bond?

London: Actor Tom Hiddleston has fuelled rumours that he might be the next James Bond after he was spotted enjoying a "jolly" meeting with director Sam Mendes and producer Barbara Broccoli in London.

Hiddleston, best known for his portrayal of Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, joined Mendes and Broccoli at private members club Soho House here this week.

"At first it was Barbara, Tom and another good looking young man. Then Sam Mendes joined them at about 11pm and they stayed until around 1 a.m... There was lots of laughter; they all looked to be having a very jolly time," mirror.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

"We were gobsmacked they were being so brazen about it. They clearly didn`t mind who saw them," the source added.
