Hannah Waddingham has offered her take on what’s next for the James Bond franchise.
At the June 22 premiere screening of Prime Video’s Ride or Die in London, the 51-year-old English actress opened up about why she’s consistently drawn to playing powerful female characters.
“It’s their truth, it’s who they are in the quiet, that’s what gets me first,” she shared, further explaining that her “interest is piqued by who they are when they’re alone, and the foibles and the fears and the aspirations they have when they’re alone.”
But the Ted Lasso star firmly said has no interest in taking on the iconic role of James Bond.
“No! God no! No, this is my version of 007, a woman doesn’t need to play James Bond, we’ve got other things to do,” she quipped.
Currently the casting hunt is still going on for the new 007.
Daniel Craig’s 2021 departure as James Bond opened the door for a new actor to take on the legendary spy.
Although numerous names have been floated, Jacob Elordi, Callum Turner, and Harris Dickinson are currently among the frontrunners to play James Bond.
Fans have also thrown Enola Holmes star’s Louis Partridge’s name into the hat for the British superspy’s role.
