Speaking Friday, July 10, at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, former James Bond casting director Debbie McWilliams — who cast the past 14 Bond films — shared her thoughts on the future of cinema's most famous spy while reflecting on the franchise she helped shape, according to Variety.
"Not in my opinion. No," she said. “Ian Fleming wrote a character, and that’s the character that stays. That’s what I think. I mean, other people might think otherwise, but I don’t think that.”Although Amazon MGM Studios has not announced its next James Bond, fan speculation has centered on actors including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, James Norton, Harris Dickinson, Jacob Elordi and Paul Mescal. Former contender Idris Elba has repeatedly said he isn't interested in taking on the role, while Lashana Lynch made franchise history by portraying MI6 agent Nomi, who temporarily inherited the 007 designation in No Time to Die.McWilliams also revealed that she initially wasn't convinced Daniel Craig — dubbed the Blonde Bond by critics for making history as the first blonde actor to take on the role — was the right choice for Casino Royale until producer Barbara Broccoli insisted on meeting him. That decision ultimately ushered in one of the franchise's most successful eras.
With a new creative team in place and speculation reaching a fever pitch, Bond fans may not have to wait much longer to learn who will receive the world's most famous license to kill.Still, McWilliams may not be grabbing her popcorn for the new iteration of Bond, adding, “You know, it’s about to change dramatically, is all I can say. And I’m not sure whether I’ll be paying my money to go and see it or not.”
