Emilia Clarke Wants To Be First Female James Bond

Emilia Clarke has revealed that she wants to portray the iconic character of James Bond in the future since Daniel Craig is all set to hang up his tuxedo after the upcoming movie, “No Time To Die.”

Speaking with Empire, the 33-year-old actress admitted that she is a huge fan of the legendary 007 franchise and she would never miss out on a chance to be the first woman ever to play the detective for the big screen once Craig leaves the series.

The “Game Of Thrones” star shared that “James Bond” is one of those series that will always remain cool, whether now or in the future. The actress also noted that the makers can make her the most tasteless Bond ever and it would still be cool in the minds of the people.

“You could literally make the naffest James Bond in the world and it would still be cool,” Clarke said.

The 25th movie in the highly-successful franchise will see Craig donning the stylish tuxedo for the last time alongside Rami Malek. The “Mr. Robot” star will be playing the character of Safin in the movie and one of the film producers has claimed that Malek will completely outclass the previous villains of the franchise.

Speaking in an interview with Empire last month, producer Barbara Broccoli revealed that the big screen baddie will really get under Bond’s skin and admitted that he is surely a nasty piece of work.

The upcoming film will see Bond enjoying his life in Jamaica. But his peace is short-lived when one of his friends from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be really hazardous when he meets a mysterious villain armed with a dangerous new technology.

The cast of “No Time To Die” includes Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Jeffrey Wright, as well as franchise newcomers Malek, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, David Dencik, Billy Magnussen and Dali Benssalah.

The film is set to open in theaters on April 8, 2020.

On the other hand, Clarke’s latest project, “Last Christmas,” has opened to negative reviews from critics. The movie, which also stars “Crazy Rich Asians” actor Henry Golding, Emma Thompson, and Michelle Yeoh, currently has a 47 percent score on review site Rotten Tomatoes.
