Hollywood star Rebel Wilson has confirmed she has auditioned for a role in the upcoming James Bond film - the first without Daniel Craig since 2006. Many fans have been left speculating whether this means she could be in the running to become the next Bond Girl.
Explaining how the audition came about, Wilson, 43, told Variety that she met Bond producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, to request clearance for 007-themed jokes ahead of hosting the 2022 BAFTA Film Awards. On her possible role in the new film, which will feature a new Bond, Rebel said: "What was really cool was getting to audition for Bond."
Although the Pitch Perfect star didn't comment on whether she was successful or not, she did stress the audition wasn't to be the actual new James Bond. Speculation is rife following news that Daniel Craig will be leaving the highly coveted role, with a long list of names rumoured to be in the running to replace him.
