Rumours a plenty have been flying around on what’s next in store for the 25th official James Bond film.
Over the weekend one sprouted claiming that Craig has signed on, with Adele set to sing the theme song for the second time.
Whether the 49-year-old star does return or not, the time will eventually come for him to be replaced by a new actor.
Now in a recently resurfaced interview, Dench has opened up on her initial thoughts when Craig was cast before his debut in 2006’s Casino Royale.
Speaking with GQ, she said: “When I heard the news I thought, ‘How terrific.’
“I also thought it’s a very, very onerous mantle to take on because he’s James Bond, you know? He’s universal. It’s a big thing. I mean, what do you do?
“However, if he was uncertain he didn’t give me the impression of being so.
“Daniel can be rather enigmatic. Like James Bond, really.
“Although I’m certain underneath it all he was a bit… nervous about it – as was Pierce Brosnan.”
She added: “Daniel is a James Bond for today. He’s just a really good actor, which means that he’s managed it with incredible aplomb.
“He’s got a great sense of humour and that, to me, is absolutely essential in that part.
“Well, in any part I think it’s essential to have a sense of humour, and I wouldn’t want to work with anyone who doesn’t.”
