Emilia Fox Shares 'James Bond' Ambition: 'I'd Love To Be A Bond Girl'

And she's also revealed who she'd want to star opposite.

Emilia Fox has revealed her desire to appear in the ‘James Bond’ franchise, ahead of the 26th film in the series.

The ‘Silent Witness’ star has said she’d love to follow in the footsteps of stars inclduing Ursula Andress, Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike, by playing a “Bond girl” in the latest instalment of the action franchise.

Despite Daniel Craig’s rather disparaging remarks about the character of 007, reports recently suggested he might actually be returning to the role in the next ‘James Bond’ film.

These come following claims that stars including Tom Hiddleston, Aidan Turner and David Oyelowo are being considered for the iconic secret agent role (and that’s without mentioning the persistent rumours about Idris, which still aren’t going anywhere).

Daniel said last month: “As far as I’m concerned, I’ve got the best job in the world. I’ll keep doing it as long as I still get a kick out of it.

“If I were to stop doing it, I would miss it terribly.”

The most recent addition to the ‘James Bond’ series, ‘Spectre’, received critical acclaim upon its release in 2015.

The Next James Bond Is One Of These...

The first red-headed James Bond?
Idris Elba(02 of14)

So many people have asked him about it, Idris will no longer discuss the subject. But while Pierce Brosnan remarked Bond boss Barbara Broccoli wouldn't be happy with a Black Bond, she told HuffPostUK, "I don't know what Pierce is talking about."
Tom Hardy(03 of14)

Arguably too rugged for the corridors of Westminster where James Bond has to defend his actions, but very, very popular.
Chiwetel Ejiofor(04 of14)

Another actor who's been asked so many times, now he just smiles when asked.
Tom Hiddleston(05 of14)

If pouting were all that is required, Tom Hiddleston would go straight to Vauxhall Bridge.
Clive Owen(06 of14)

Has proved he has the required steeliness in any number of big screen roles, but success Stateside might make him no longer willing to commit.
Douglas Booth(07 of14)

No gun or martial arts skills required, he can just look at them, and wait for submission.
John Boyega(08 of14)

What the 'Star Wars' star may lack in stature, he more than makes up for in enthusiasm and appeal. Although the Bond villains might just want to cuddle him.
Taron Egerton(09 of14)

Proved his action hero chops in 'Kingsman: Secret Service' and signing him now would mean Barbara Broccoli and co wouldn't have to worry again for at least a decade.
Michael Fassbender(10 of14)

Like Pierce Brosnan, Irish charm could help the 'Steve Jobs' star int the role.
Sam Claflin(11 of14)

The 'Hunger Games' star represents the best of British.
Tom Hughes(12 of14)

Who, you ask? Set to play Prince Albert against Jenna Coleman in the forthcoming 'Victoria' TV series, Tom has already proven himself a master of espionage in 'The Game' and 'Page Eight', both on TV. When not if he gets the call, don't say we didn't give you the heads up...
