Mark Consuelos Declines James Bond Role
20 May
Summary
- Mark Consuelos rejected the lead role of James Bond.
- He expressed interest in playing a Bond villain instead.
- Matt Bomer was suggested as the ideal American Bond.
Mark Consuelos has publicly stated his decision not to pursue the role of the next James Bond. During a segment on LIVE, his co-host and wife, Kelly Ripa, playfully urged him to consider the part, presenting a digitally created image of him in character.
Despite Ripa's enthusiasm and belief that Consuelos's face "screams James Bond," he expressed a clear preference for a different type of character. "I'd love to play a Bond villain," Consuelos commented, ultimately declining the offer to embody the famous British spy.
As the discussion continued, Ripa put forth Matt Bomer as her nominee for the role, proclaiming him the "American James Bond." Meanwhile, the article notes that the casting search for the new 007 is reportedly underway by Amazon MGM Studios and casting director Nina Gold. Recent unconfirmed reports suggest Callum Turner might have been chosen, with a potential release of the next installment around 2028.
The franchise's last film, "No Time to Die," marked Daniel Craig's final appearance as James Bond in 2021. Consuelos is currently engaged with his Broadway performance in "Fallen Angels," which concludes its limited engagement in June.
