Saoirse Ronan reveals she would love to play a Bond villain opposite her husband Jack Lowden as 007...

Saoirse Ronan

Saoirse Ronan recently shared her hidden desire to play a villain in a James Bond film, and she expressed enthusiasm for her husband, Jack Lowden, to take on the role of James Bond himself.

If the stars of Little Women, who are 30, could see their dreams realized, they would become the very first Mr. and Mrs. Bond, taking their status as a couple to an even more legendary level.

While talking about the kind of villainous trait her character might have in a spy series, Saoirse mentioned that she would find it exciting if her character had a limp.

In an interview with The Sun, she expressed her long-held desire to portray a Bond villain, saying, "I've always wanted to take on that role. It would truly be a dream for me. If anyone has connections with Barbara Broccoli, please pass the message along!"

There's something really appealing about simply saying, "I'm going to take on a major film next, and I understand that it will reach an audience."

Saoirse Ronan has opened up about her hidden dream of playing a villain in a James Bond film, and she hopes her husband, Jack Lowden, would take on the role of 007.

If the 30-year-old stars of Little Women get their dreams fulfilled, they would become the first-ever Mr. and Mrs. Bond, solidifying their status as a truly legendary couple.

She mentioned, "I'm aware of my blonde hair since many female villains in films are often portrayed as very blonde and villainous. I'd like to challenge that stereotype, but in the end, I'm going to go with whatever Barbara decides!"

Saoirse confessed that if she had to choose between taking on the role of the villain in a James Bond film or having her husband take on the role of 007, she'd be perfectly fine stepping aside.

During the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, the speaker said, "If we have to choose between the two, he would be the better fit for Bond. Isn't it great that I've had the opportunity to say that?"

While Bond Girls are famous in the spy movie genre, female villains in leading roles are much rarer.

In the 1999 film The World Is Not Enough, Sophie Marceau portrayed Elektra King, marking her as the first woman to take on the role of a leading antagonist in a James Bond movie.

Other notable female antagonists include Grace Jones, who played the assassin-turned-helper May Day in the 1985 film A View To A Kill, and Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp, known for using her strong thighs to kill her victims in the 1995 movie GoldenEye.

Saoirse recently co-hosted a BBC Radio 2 program alongside Scottish DJ Edith Bowman, where they talked about her husband Jack's ambitions to take on the role of James Bond.

Edith mentioned that Jack would be an excellent fit for the legendary role, pointing out that she had been advocating for this idea for years.

In reply, Saoirse remarked, "I'm going to keep track of how often you mention him for the Bond role on the radio."

In a conversation about what her character's flaw would be if she were part of a spy series, Saoirse mentioned that she might have a limp.

She mentioned, "I've always wanted to portray a Bond villain. I'm truly passionate about it. If someone has a connection to Barbara Broccoli, please let her know."

Saoirse mentioned that if she had the choice between playing the antagonist in a James Bond film or her husband stepping into the role of 007 after Daniel Craig, she would gladly let him take the part.

When Edith said she had been at it for six years, Saoirse replied, “It hasn’t happened yet, though,” and then added, “There’s still time, there’s still time.”

Saoirse shared her thoughts on the importance of collaborating with individuals they're at ease with, alongside Jack, who played a key role in producing their new film set in Orkney, The Outrun.

The actress from Mary Queen of Scots shared, "It's the ideal setting when you feel secure with the people around you, yet you’re also being challenged."

As we grow older, and especially for Jack and me, we've found that it becomes increasingly vital to collaborate only with those who share our values and are genuinely nice people who excel in their work. It’s become a necessity for us.

"It’s not about being the best; it’s about having a genuine passion for what you do and supporting each other. There are many people out there who don’t share that sentiment."

It has been three years since No Time To Die came out, and fans are excitedly anticipating the official announcement regarding who will take over the role of James Bond after Daniel Craig.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson remains the top choice among bookmakers at 6-4, while Henry Cavill's odds have dropped from 7-2. In comparison, Lowden is sitting at 12-1.

Jack, 34, spent his childhood in the village of Oxton in Berwickshire. He has built a successful career in the film industry, working on projects like Dunkirk and Benediction, as well as television series such as Slow Horses and The Gold.

He and Saoirse first crossed paths in 2018 while filming Mary Queen of Scots, and they got married during the weekend of July 20 this year.

She took on the main character, and Jack portrayed Lord Darnley, who is the king's spouse. Their romantic relationship began in December 2018.

They got married in a private ceremony in Edinburgh’s Old Town in July. The four-time Oscar-nominated actor and his Scottish counterpart celebrated their wedding in a cozy location near the Royal Mile.

The intimate ceremony was attended by a small group of their friends and family, who helped keep the wedding a secret. According to their marriage certificate, 34-year-old Jack Andrew Lowden tied the knot with 30-year-old Saoirse Una Ronan at the City Chambers registration office on July 17.

Saoirse, who was born in the US but raised in Ireland, and Jack live in a £2.5 million house in London along with their dog, Fran.
