Bond role: Andrew will star alongside Daniel Craig

“Andrew was hand-picked for a role in the new Bond movie after film bosses loved his star turn in Sherlock,” a source told the Mirror.

“Casting directors thought he was perfect to play a baddie and they wanted to use his existing Sherlock profile – and amp it up to the next level.

“Andrew is hoping the move will see him leap from TV to the big screen, where he can eventually divide his time between London and LA. He knows this is his big break.”

Previously Andrew admitted that Sherlock massively changed his life.

He said: “Sherlock has changed all our careers, and I’m really pleased about that. It gives you the benefit of the doubt because executives like to see recognisable faces.

“It was overwhelming to be on a TV show that is quite so popular. That took me totally by surprise. People had an instant affection for it from the first episode.

“The reaction was extraordinary. People still come up to me in the street all the time, wanting to talk about it.”
