JAMIE BELL could be swapping his ballet pumps for a Walther PPK - to rival DANIEL CRAIG as a double-0 agent in the new Bond movie.
Producers of the next spy blockbuster want to pit 007 against a young secret service recruit - and have Jamie firmly in their sights.
In the plot the young rookie is seen by MI6 boss M as the natural successor to Bond.
The new boy is given one of 007's assignments in a deliberate bid to create rivalry between the pair.
The screenwriters have several actors in mind to play the cocky young spy - but Daniel has told film bosses he is keen for them to cast 24-year-old Jamie.
He made his name as a would-be young ballet dancer in 2000's Billy Elliot and he and Daniel starred together in last year's Second World War flick Defiance.
A source said: "The idea behind the character of a new double-0 agent is that he would be like a younger version of Bond.
"The scriptwriters hope a bit of competition between Bond and a new, sexy young spy who is keen to impress his bosses would be a great sub-plot in the movie.
"For the first time, Bond's position as golden boy of the double-0 agents is in danger, and this threat to his ego will bring out his ruthless streak.
"It would definitely be a great place to take the character."
"But the film is still in the early stages of development."
It's about time Bond got a run for his money from a younger model.
But I reckon he will come out on top in the end.

The slash writes itself, honestly.
EDIT: Seems this is a hoax by a site looking for publicity - and The Sun published this? Good detective work guys. (Thanks jumpship44)
I'm still betting on some dirty, kinky slash being written.
