Daniel Craig is widely considered as the quintessential contemporary James Bond. The movies featuring him significantly revamped the series and paved a fresh path for Agent 007’s escapades, but his tenure has concluded. In the movie “No Time To Die“, Craig brought an end to his Bond journey. It’s worth noting that he might not have embarked on this adventure if Hugh Jackman had agreed to portray him in “Casino Royale“.
In an interview with Variety, Jackman admitted he was offered the part of Agent 007 for Casino Royale, but he declined the opportunity to play James Bond. Although many other actors would have jumped at the chance, Jackman wasn’t impressed by the look of previous Bond films and worried that his commitments to the X-Men movies would leave him no time for other projects.
Initially, I intended to proceed with “X-Men 2,” but my agent phoned inquiring if I’d consider Bond instead. At the moment, I found the storylines too implausible and outlandish, and I felt they required a more grounded, realistic approach. My suggestion was met with: “You don’t have a choice; you simply need to sign up.” Additionally, I was concerned that juggling Bond and X-Men would leave little room for exploring other projects.
The actor expressed dissatisfaction with previous installments of the James Bond series, stating that they grew increasingly implausible and absurd. To him, these developments were far from appealing and he strongly believed that Bond required a fresh approach.
Despite Jackman not landing the Bond role, the films took a more gritty and realistic direction, reflecting his preferences. However, Jackman wanted to avoid being typecast, a risk he faced following his portrayal of Wolverine. Adding the Bond character to his resume might have further limited his roles, so he chose to demonstrate his versatility by taking on various acting projects off-screen and even performing in musicals.
