Bond 25: Chris Hemsworth would "love to" play James Bond after Daniel Craig leaves

Who else would like to see Thor becomes 007?

Australian actor and Avengers: Endgame star Chris Hemsworth has revealed his desire to play James Bond in the future.

Speaking to Balance , Hemsworth revealed he would definitely be up for the role of the secret agent.

He said: 'When we were shooting Rush someone had said that and I thought, "Cool, if this is my audition tape, then great." I don't think you'll ever meet anyone who doesn't want to have a crack at James Bond. I'd love to do it."

"But that's up to so many elements and is way beyond myself; it's not one you can pitch yourself on to either."

The actor also discussed how the fan community of Bond is vital, as is the opinion of producer Barbara Broccoli.

"It's something that the community of Bond fans, Barbara Broccoli and the whole crew there agree on, and it has to be a very organic decision from them. There have been a lot of names thrown out there and a lot of brilliant people can tackle that one."
