Ben Whishaw is Up for Playing Bond

Ben Whishaw in "Spectre"

Whishaw. Ben Whishaw.

The English actor has been a part of the James Bond universe since 2012 when he took over the role of gadget guru Q in Skyfall.

The 37 year old is expected to reprise his role when filming begins for the 25th installment of Bond which will be helmed by Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle.

The film is also set to be the final version of the franchise starring Daniel Craig as 007.

Numerous names have been thrown into the hat as to whom will take over the role of the suave secret agent, including Luther actor Idris Elba and Avengers: Infinity War star Tom Hiddleston.

But, it now appears as though Ben is also raising his hand.

When asked about the possibility of playing 007, the A Very English Scandal actor said, “Oh, yeah! I’d only do it if I could be Q, though, doing it. I don’t want to jinx anything, but I’m definitely up for being more active.”

Someone get him a martini.
