London

Tom Hardy, who happens to be among the speculated contenders
for the role of 007 in the next movie, recently confirmed his interest in playing
the infamous agent.
Speaking to the Daily Beast, the 39-year-old actor was keen
to express enthusiasm at the interviewer's suggestion 'Inception' director Christopher
Nolan take over the franchise, the Guardian reports.
'Oh, wow, Chris would be amazing!' said the 'Mad
Max: Fury Road' star, adding, 'Wow, that would be cool. That would be so
cool.'
However, Hardy ducked the question of his taking over the mantle
from current actor Daniel Craig.
Hardy said, 'There's a saying amongst us in the fraternity
of acting. That if you talk about it you're automatically out of the race. So
I can't possibly comment on that one!'
Craig's continuation in the role has yet to be confirmed, after
his assertion that he would 'rather slash my wrists' than make another
Bond movie.
Regarding the intense speculation about who might replace the
48-year-old actor, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Jamie Bell and Tom Hughes have
been mooted along.
