Tom Holland has weighed in on whether there's any truth to the rumours of him playing the next James Bond.

The Spider-Man star had a chat with chef Gordon Ramsay for his Scrambled series, with the duo touching on speculation that Holland is in line to be the new 007 after Daniel Craig bowed out.

"Listen, there's speculation at the moment," Holland said.

"We'll keep it to a minimum for now. We'll get there one day," he continued.

If the rumours turn out to be true, Holland would star in the upcoming Bond movie directed by Dune's Denis Villeneuve with a script penned by Peaky Blinders' Steven Knight.

After Amazon took over creative control of the spy franchise, it seems that the studio is eyeing younger actors to play Bond, which would explain the rumours of Holland potentially wearing the suit.

Holland's chances to play Bond are heightened as Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal, with whom he worked closely on the Spidey flicks, is co-producing the new 007.

At the moment, there hasn't been confirmation that Holland's name is even in the hat, but he would definitely love to play Bond.

"Dude, I mean every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry," Holland told Ramsay when quizzed about the Bond role.

"I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could not have dreamed to have the career that I have."

Holland took a hiatus from acting following his emotionally taxing role in The Crowded Room, but is set to star in Christopher Nolan's star-studded epic The Odyssey and will reprise his role in the fourth Spider-Man movie, Brand New Day.
