“At the Baftas recently someone was like, ‘Oh, you’re the hot priest from Fleabag, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge is writing the Bond film, will you play the villain?’

Daniel Craig quit the role of Bond in 2021 after his last film, No Time to Die released in 2021.
There are numerous speculations about who would take his place and become the new secret agent.
Scott was asked if he would like to play the role of James Bond in the franchise. The actor shared,
“I don’t think I’ll get asked to play Bond. They’ll not be like, ‘Let’s get Scott in.’ I find it extraordinary that people are so infatuated. I say people.
It’s mainly just journalists. I don’t think people are at parties screaming, ‘Who’s going to be the next Bond?’ They won’t announce it until 2022, so it will probably go to some whippersnapper who will surprise us all.”
Daniel Craig quit the franchise after five Bond films from 2006 to 2021.
