Tom Hardy Hints He Might Want To Be James Bond And He'd Love To See Christopher Nolan Involved

Published Mon, 16 Jan 2017 11:15:04 -0600

There has been buzz around Christopher Nolan doing a James Bond film for some time. The director is a lover of the series, and there have reportedly been some talks at some point with him, especially thought to have been around the time Spectre was Sam Mendes-less. Nolan seems a little past Franchise stewardship, but for the right one, who knows?

Speaking to The Daily Beast, Tom Hardy, who has worked with Nolan plenty, revealed he'd love to see him take on the franchise. On top of that, he somewhat teasingly hints that he would like to play Bond, albeit in a round about way. When asked directly if he'd want to be Bond and Nolan's possible involvement , he said:

You know, there's a saying amongst us in the fraternity of acting, and in the fellowship of my peer group, that if you talk about it you're automatically out of the race. So I can't possibly comment on that one! If I mention it, it's gone. But Chris Nolan, what a fantastic director for a Bond movie. Because Daniel [Craig] is so good, and what [Sam] Mendes and Barbara [Broccoli] have done has been so impressive, that it would be a very hard re-imagination to follow after. I wonder what the next installment of that franchise would become, and I think when you mention someone like Christopher Nolan, that's a very powerful figure to bring into that world who could bring something new and create something profound…again.

It certainly would be something quite different and surprising I feel. Perhaps coming out of Dunkirk, Nolan might want something a little more… "pop culture", but that is pure speculation. We will have to see, especially as so much of that franchise is currently unclear right now.
