“Dunkirk” and “Inception” director Christopher Nolan recently indicated that if he were to direct an entry in the James Bond franchise, it would likely be when a new actor takes on the role as opposed to a returning Daniel Craig.
Now, speaking with Happy Sad Confused podcast (via The Wrap), Nolan says he already knows someone perfectly suited for the part – Tom Hardy: “He’d be amazing. He really would.”
Nolan has met with franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson over the years and says: “I’d love to work with them at some point … [but] I’d have to be needed. I think they’ve got a really good thing going.”
Nolan also says he has a concept for Bond that hasn’t been done yet, but would not share details.
