The Gentlemen and Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam says he’s 100% up for becoming the next James Bond after Daniel Craig.
Although audiences are still get to see No Time To Die after it was delayed to 2021, many James Bond fans are wondering who will be the next star to take up the mantle after Daniel Craig. It’ll be particularly interesting to see how the franchise moves forward since Lashana Lynch’s character has taken Bond’s codename, 007. But after his name was thrown in the ring for the role, Charlie Hunnam explained to People.com that he’d be flattered to play the legendary spy.
“100 percent. I would be so flattered and honored to be considered to play James Bond as an Englishman. But my intuition tells me that I shouldn’t be waiting for that phone call to come. I think there are many people ahead of me on that list.”
However, James Bond fans shouldn’t get too excited just yet, as Charlie Hunnam was quick to point out that nobody from MGM or Eon Productions has approached him about replacing Daniel Craig as Ian Fleming’s iconic character. Most fans often suggest Hunnam as a great candidate to play DC’s Green Arrow (and to be fair, he’d be a perfect fit for the hero) but after seeing the actor in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen, it’s not a stretch to imagine him embodying the next James Bond. Take a look at Charlie Hunnam discussing the fan-casting below.
“It’s very flattering sort of fan dialogue. Nobody’s ever, on a professional level from within the industry, brought that up to me. As much as people want to talk about me playing James Bond, please continue. Maybe that’s the genesis of these things. Maybe fan chatter leads to industry people actually talking about it in a more serious way.”
