Set visits and reviews for
X-Men: First Class have all seemingly had one thing in common. And that is the comparison to Michael Fassbender's early portrayal of Erik Lensehrr to that of James Bond. Well,
Screen Rant have now posted an excerpt from the movies press conference (which took place in New York earlier today) in which the Irish actor finally addresses the suggestions and speculation that he should play 007.
Screen Rant: There’s a lot of Sean Connery-style James Bond stuff going on in First Class and you seem very at home in that role. Once Daniel Craig’s tenure as Bond is over, would you be interested in taking over for him?
Lucas Till (the actor who plays Havoc): Yes, he would!
(Laughter from the cast)
Michael Fassbender: You know … I don’t know. I really don’t plan anything ever because it never seems to work. I’m just [like] – let’s just get this film out and see how this one does. And I’m sort of in the middle of doing [Ridley Scott’s Prometheus]. And, you know, Daniel [Craig] is doing a great job. We’ll see what happens. I’m very flattered that people are sort of making that link, but – I don’t know. We’ll see.
X-Men: First Class is set to be released in the UK on June 1st and in the US on June 2nd.
