Жүжигчин 10–15 жилийн турш Жеймс Бондыг бүтээхээс илүү нэг кинонд эсрэг дүрд тоглохыг илүүд үзэж буйгаа ярьжээ.
Шведийн жүжигчин Билл Скарсгард Жош Хоровицын Happy Sad Confused подкастад оролцохдоо хорон санаатны дүрд дахин тоглохын тулд өмнө нь бүтээж байгаагүй, өөрт нь шинэ санагдах дүр байх шаардлагатай гэж хэлжээ. Тэр ийм төрлийн дүрүүдээс бага зэрэг залхаж эхэлсэн ч тохирох дүр байвал сонирхож магадгүй гэдгээ нэмжээ.
Скарсгард Бондын дүрийн талаар өөртэй нь холбогдоогүйг хошигнон дурдаад, дүрд сонгогдсон жүжигчид нь Британи, Австралийнх байсан тул Швед жүжигчнийг тохирохгүй гэж үзсэн байж магадгүй хэмээжээ. Харин 10–15 жил франчайзад зүтгэхээс илүү нэг удаагийн, Мадс Миккельсений Casino Royale дахь Ле Шиффр шиг эсрэг дүрд тоглохыг илүүд үзнэ гэж хэлсэн байна. Тэр мөн Хавьер Бардемийн Skyfall кинонд бүтээсэн Раул Силваг жишээ татжээ.
Дени Вильнёвийн найруулах шинэ Жеймс Бондын киноны зохиолыг Peaky Blinders-ийг бүтээгч Стивен Найт бичиж, Эми Паскаль болон Дэвид Хейман продюсерээр ажиллана. Энэ нь Amazon MGM-ийн уран бүтээлийн хяналтад хийх анхны Бондын кино болох бөгөөд тус компани 2025 онд франчайзын эрхийг удаан хугацаанд хариуцаж ирсэн Барбара Брокколи, Майкл Ж. Уилсонтой тохиролцсон юм. Кинонд Даниел Крэйгийн оронд хэн 007-г бүтээх нь одоогоор тодорхой болоогүй байна.

Bill Skarsgård has little interest in spending the next 15 years playing James Bond, but would happily take a turn as one of 007’s enemies.
The Swedish actor, who has played some of Hollywood’s most recognisable villains, said he would consider returning to the role of a bad guy if the character offered something he had not done before.
Speaking to Josh Horowitz on his Happy Sad Confused podcast, Skarsgård admitted he was beginning to feel “spent” with such roles, but said there were still villains he could be tempted by.
“For a villain, it would have to be something that felt original to me, that was something that I hadn’t done before,” he said. “And I feel kind of spent with those things. But there are villains [that] could be really fun in different ways and if it’s the right kind.”
Horowitz then brought up Skarsgård’s interest in playing a James Bond villain, prompting the actor to joke that he had not even been considered for the role of 007.
“Yeah. Well, because they didn’t call me about James Bond. I don’t know what that was about,” he said. “Every single British, Australian [actor]…but maybe they were like, ‘We can’t do a Swede for this guy.’”
The new Bond film, to be directed by Dune’s Denis Villeneuve, follows Daniel Craig’s final outing as Bond in No Time To Die, which was released in October 2021 after being delayed by the pandemic.
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is writing the screenplay, and producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman will be overseeing. It will be the first Bond film made under Amazon MGM’s creative control, following its 2025 agreement with longtime franchise custodians Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.

The search for Daniel Craig’s successor has produced a long list of British actors, with Slow Horses star Jack Lowden, Fantastic Beasts actor Callum Turner, and Challengers star Josh O’Connor emerging as the leading contenders earlier in the process. Jacob Elordi, Jack O’Connell, Aaron Pierre, Richard Madden, Harris Dickinson, and James Norton were all mentioned as possible successors.
The race took another turn in November when Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult reportedly screen-tested for the role, joining Turner, Lowden, and O’Connor in the final group of contenders.
Pattinson, who plays Batman for Warner Bros, has also worked with Villeneuve on Dune: Part Three, while Hoult has appeared in The Great, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Superman.
Skarsgård was quick to agree when Horowitz suggested that playing Bond would mean committing to the franchise for 10 or 15 years. He would rather make a single appearance as an antagonist, saying: “That’s right. You just want to go in and do a one, you know, Mads Mikkelsen villain.”
“That’s right. You just want to go in and do a one, you know, Mads Mikkelsen villain,” he said.
Mikkelsen played the calculating financier Le Chiffre opposite Craig in Casino Royale (2006), which marked the latter’s debut as 007. Skarsgård also brought up Javier Bardem, who played the former MI6 agent-turned-antagonist Raoul Silva in Skyfall (2012).
Skarsgård’s interest in the franchise goes back to childhood.
In a May 2024 interview with Esquire, the actor said he watched all the James Bond films when he was six or seven, after they were shown on television every Friday. “I am a huge James Bond fan and was obsessed with James Bond as a child,” he said.
Asked what he would call his own Bond villain, he didn’t hesitate: “Mozart Drogobych.” He even joked that his prospective villain was “really good at frying eggs”.
Skarsgård has plenty of experience playing characters on the other side of the law. He became internationally known for his portrayal of Pennywise in the It films, before taking on the role of Count Orlok in Robert Eggers’s Nosferatu (2024). His other credits include the Marquis Vincent de Gramont in John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) and Eric Draven in The Crow (2024).
Skarsgård will be seen next in Peter Berg’s Second World War drama The Mosquito Bowl, where he plays Bob Bauman, a star tackle for the University of Wisconsin who gives up his promising football career to enlist in the US Marines after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
