In the world of James Bond, the iconic role of 007 is constantly changing hands. And with the recent announcement of Daniel Craig's departure from the franchise, all eyes have been on who will step into the coveted tuxedo next.
Names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, James Norton, Henry Cavill, and Regé-Jean Page have all been thrown into the ring, but one actor immediately shut down any rumors of taking on the role - Idris Elba. However, another unexpected name has now emerged as a potential contender - Saoirse Ronan.
In a recent interview, the 30-year-old Irish actress revealed her dream role in the Bond franchise - that of a villain. Known for her acclaimed performances in films like Atonement, Brooklyn, Lady Bird, and Little Women, Ronan is now ready to take on a bigger and more glamorous project.
"I would like to do something big and shiny," she shared with the LA Times. "I'd love to do that." And while she has enjoyed her experiences making independent films, Ronan is now ready to step into the world of blockbuster movies.
With her impressive CV and undeniable talent, Ronan would be a perfect fit for the franchise. And it seems like she's not the only one who thinks so. Fans have already started rallying for her to be cast as the next Bond villain, and it's safe to say that producer Barbara Broccoli should take notice.
Meanwhile, as fans wait for the next Bond installment, No Time To Die, to be released in 2021, there is another actor who has confirmed that he will not be returning for the next film. Ben Whishaw, who played Q in the last three Bond movies, revealed that he will not be reprising his role.
During an appearance on BBC One's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg, Whishaw stated that he believes the franchise will be starting fresh with a whole new cast. However, he did leave the door open for a possible return, saying that he would do it if asked.
But with a franchise that is constantly evolving and reinventing itself, a new cast and a fresh approach may just be what the Bond franchise needs. And who knows, maybe we'll see Ronan as a Bond villain and Whishaw back as Q in the future. As they say, anything can happen in the world of James Bond.
