Cillian Murphy would make an ‘interesting’ James Bond — Succession star Brian Cox

Cork actor Cillian Murphy has previously said: 'We wanted the kids to be Irish, and they were sort of at that age where they were preteens and they had very posh English accents and I wasn’t appreciating that too much'

Of the role of the 007 agent, Cox said: “Is Cillian Murphy being recommended? I think that would be interesting. I like Cillian. He’s very real, he’s got no crap about him.”

Actor Brian Cox has said Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy would be an “interesting” choice to play James Bond.

In a Radio Times interview, the Succession star discussed the upcoming second series of reality competition 007: Road To A Million, in which he returns as The Controller, the stern and sardonic taskmaster.
