Broccoli has reportedly called the 37-year-old actress her \u201cnumber one choice\u201d for the director\u2019s chair, recently vacated by Cary Joji Fukunaga.<br \/><br \/>Waller-Bridge helped write the script for the 2021 film <em><strong>No Time To Die<\/strong><\/em>, in which Bond sacrifices his life to save those he loved. According to one source, says <em>The Mail<\/em>, \u201cDaniel Craig brought Phoebe in to work on <em><strong>No Time To Die<\/strong><\/em>, and she added humour and pathos to the film. Everyone adored working with her.<br><div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> online pharmacy <a href=\"https:\/\/hiims.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/png\/synthroid.html\">buy synthroid online<\/a> with best prices today in the USA <\/div>\n<br>\u201d <br \/><br \/>The unnamed source added: \u201cBarbara believes Phoebe is a huge talent and brings a fresh, modern take to Bond. They&#8217;ve already had very early discussions, but there are lots of variables in the equation, including Phoebe&#8217;s increasingly packed schedule.\u201d<br \/><br \/>And a packed schedule it is indeed. Waller-Bridge is playing Harrison Ford\u2019s goddaughter Helena in <em><strong>Indiana Jones And The Dial of Destiny<\/strong><\/em>, slated to debut at next month\u2019s Cannes Film Festival. She\u2019s starring in <em><strong>If<\/strong><\/em>, a fantasy comedy that will premiere in 2024. And the versatile performer is also writing a script for <em><strong>Tomb Raider<\/strong><\/em>, a series for the Amazon streaming service.<br \/><br \/>The source continued: &#8220;Phoebe&#8217;s a workaholic and her schedule is packed. But the next Bond won&#8217;t go into production until next year and won&#8217;t be released until 2025, so everyone is hoping she can work it into her schedule.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>Speculation is also rampant about who will be playing Bond in the upcoming film. Among the possibilities are Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Reg\u00e9-Jean Page.<br><div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> online pharmacy <a href=\"https:\/\/hiims.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/png\/ocuflox.html\">buy ocuflox online<\/a> with best prices today in the USA <\/div>\n<br> Though Idris Elba is favored by many fans, he\u2019s taken himself out of the running by claiming he\u2019s \u201ctoo old\u201d for the role.<br \/><br \/>Barbara Broccoli has been quoted as saying that the next 007 &#8220;can be of any colour, but he is male.
