GAME OF THRONES Star Emilia Clarke Would Love to Play 007
There's been a lot of James Bond talk recently with Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig leaving the franchise and rumors of Tom Hiddleston and Jamie Bell being in talks to take on the role of 007.
I have no idea if we will ever see a female James Bond in the franchise, but if it ever happens Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke wants in on the action. During an interview with Daily Star, the actress threw her name into the mix saying:
"I would love to play Jane Bond. My ultimate leading man would be Leonardo DiCaprio. No doubt about it.”
She's not the only actress who has expressed interest in taking on the role of 007. The X-Files' Gillian Anderson is game to take on the role as well, as is Quantico star Priyanka Chopra.
This poses an interesting question... do you think we will ever see a female Bond? It's definitely an intriguing thought, and it would definitely set the next phase of the franchise apart from the rest of the films.
It would certainly be a bold move, a decision that would no doubt be met with controversy. I think breaking tradition would be the hardest part for people. Regardless of if we will ever see Bond played by a woman, I think there should be a new badass female secret agent film franchise. So if it never happens with James Bond, someone needs to create an original female super spy character. I think that'd be awesome.
Clarke and Anderson are both fantastic actors who would make great secret agents. What do you all think about one of these woman taking on the iconic role?
