Filmmaker Pablo Larraín is behind the newest in a string of movies made about the royal icon’s life. “Spencer” will tell the story of Diana in her final days married to Prince Charles before opting to leave that life behind and become the “Diana Spencer” she was before her life as a Princess.

Betting On “Spencer”

To put your money on “Spencer” and their casting agent’s pick for Prince Charles, simply go to the entertainment category of any sportsbooks to find the wager.

Although Cumberbatch looks to be hard to beat amongst his other contenders, anything is possible. Never underestimate an underdog, at least not before doing some research.

Sometimes even when the role is offered to an actor, conflicting schedules lead them to have to decline.

If this were the case and Hiddleston was the true second choice for the film that would result in a sweet betting payout for anyone that bets on him to play Prince Charles. This may actually be a possibility to take into account as Cumberbatch has plenty of films lined up that he has already committed to and “Spencer” is not one of them.
