Is Rebel Wilson the next Bond girl?
The next face of James Bond has been a hot topic for some time now, with no signs of slowing down.
However, there has been at least one audition held for Bond 26 and it’s likely a face you wouldn’t expect in the 007 world.
Rebel Wilson revealed she had scored a test for the next Bond movie through a hosting gig.
The Aussie actress dropped the bomb on Variety, saying that the audition came after her hosting the BAFTAs, as the occasion required her to include Bond-themed gags she planned for the show through franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
“What was really cool was getting to audition for Bond,” Wilson said of the experience.
Her comments come after Barabara Broccoli revealed that Bond 26 was yet to have a script when Wilson hosted the BAFTAs.
It is unknown whether a draft was handed in shortly after that statement or if Wilson just tested for a basic concept of a character that could be featured.
While it’s highly unlikely to see Wilson as a British secret agent, there’s a chance she’ll grace the screen.
