With the position of James Bond open following Daniel Craig’s explosive swan song in 2021’s No Time to Die, the internet has been engaged in furious speculation on who should take over the license to kill.

One name that has been bandied about by both fans and movie media is Daniel Kaluuya. The British actor, who earned an Oscar for his fiery role as Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah, has been mentioned as a potential 007 since at least 2018, after his breakout performance in Jordan Peele’s social horror sensation Get Out.

But in a new interview with Yahoo Entertainment, the 33-year-old Brit tells us he has little interest in being the seventh James Bond.

“I’d do a villain,” Kaluuya says while promoting his newest collaboration with Peele, the UFO thriller Nope, where he was joined by co-star Keke Palmer.

The actor, who appeared surprised to learn he has long been been fancasted in the part, shrugs at the thought of taking over for Craig. “Mmm,” he offers up simply at first.

“I just don’t if I’d want to watch my version of James Bond. That’s just me. That’s just me, I go, ‘I don’t wanna watch that.’ But I’d want to watch a villain. I’d do that. I think that would be fun.”
