James Bond Cast News: Michael Caine Wants To Play The Role Of Daniel Craig

Michael Caine has already played almost all kinds of roles in films and he said that there is no longer any dream role left for him. But playing the role of the old James Bond still appeals to him. He said that he has to tell film producer Barbara Broccoli.

Although former James Bond actors Sean Connery and Roger Moore are still alive, Caine said that they are older than him. The 84-year-old actor revealed that despite his age he can still perfectly memorize dialogues as per The List. Will he get to play the 007 role as an old man?

Probably yes since he has been in the industry for decades. His decision might give an idea to the producer on how to expand the franchise.

At his age, he still makes films and one of them is the "Hatton Garden." It tells the story of the 2015 London jewelry robbery. He will join Jim Broadent, Sir Michael Gambon, and Ray Winstone in the said project. In view of his new film, he wanted to personally meet the mastermind of the robbery Brian Reader. He is now 73 years old and is still languishing in jail. However, the reaction of Reader's daughter to his desire to play the character is that he is "too common" for the role.

As of now, he revealed in Sunday World, that the "The Dark Knight Rises" actor has just taken a break. It was his way of saying that he is still capable of playing the role of Daniel Craig.

Up to this time, Daniel Craig's replacement has not been decided upon. The film bigwig has narrowed down the list of the possible actors to only a few. Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Aidan Turner, and James Norton were the actors that have huge chances of getting the role. And for the role of the old James Bond, Michael Caine could definitely do it.
