Luke Evans has reply to the speculation about his being the nextJames Bond , and while he ’d be honor to get the license to down , he says he ’d also be wary of taking the plunge . It was recently announced after almost two year of speculation thatDaniel Craig would be backas 007 forBond 25 , but   that ’s expected to be his last go around , uphold speculation of who could put back him .

One of the most popular figure in the mix has been Luke Evans , who in 2015 ( the class of the latest bail movie , Spectre ) was votedGQreader ’s top filling to replace Craig and later appeared on an internal shortlist of replacements . However , it sounds like even he was single out for the labor , Evans would n’t of necessity take up the mission .

WhenScreen Rantinterviewed theProfessor Marston and the Wonder Womenstar , we asked Evans what his current feelings on taking the part on were . And , while he in spades seemed concerned , he   also demonstrate doubt about in reality taking on such a daunting theatrical role :

Sidious, Tyranus, Maul, and Vader.

" I think it would be an honor , but it ’s a big line of work abuse into the rush of someone like Daniel Craig who was wreak on [ and ] get up him to a level which has never been . It ’s an over-the-top enfranchisement and incredible part but whoever takes on the purpose after Daniel Craig has catch a job on his hands . So yeah , it ’s attractive , but it also does n’t come without its trepidation - it would n’t be an easy thing to do . You be intimate what I mean , though ? It have so much , you know ? You ’ve begin to create your fanbase , all that stuff ’s break on before filming . Yeah . Who knows ? It would n’t be an easy thing to take over that part , although it is a rattling character . "

The actor definitely does n’t rule out the possibility of ever playing James Bond   but does make   several item about why it would be a tall lodge . He ’d be follow up Craig , believed by many to be the good Julian Bond ( and unquestionably the most successful financially ) and would require to forge his own path - all before the wakeless production and forwarding that comes with each one of the moving picture . It seems at this point Evans is n’t think about establish the leap .

Evans has seen a gradual rise over the past decade or so ,   with franchise role Bard the Bowman inThe Hobbitand Owen Shaw in theFast and Furiousseries ( something he enounce he ’d be up   for return to ) as well as twist inHigh - RiseandThe Girl on the Train . He   also asterisk in the live - actionBeauty and the Beastas a rake - perfect Gaston . None of these explicitly showcase all the facets of the suave , equal to super undercover agent , but together   exemplify a broad range of talent . It ’s thus easy to see why he ’s a favorite , even if , at 38 , he may be too old to take on the use when the chance comes around .
