Comedian Daisy May Cooper is said to be in talks with the producers of 'James Bond' to star in the role of spy chief 'M' in the next film in the franchise.

The fact that Cooper is also friends with Bond writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge may also stand her in good stead to get the role. So this opens the door to it being a bit lighter and more comedic going forwards — and will of course impact the direction the new 007 goes in too.” Cooper would be taking on the iconic role previously performed by the likes of Dame Judi Dench and Ralph Fiennes.

Daisy May Cooper as M: does that mean James Bond is turning into ... (The Guardian)

Would the Am I Being Unreasonable actor make a great M? Sure. But not if it means the 007 franchise is turning into Austin Powers.

If Daisy May Cooper is going to be M, then let’s hire Charlie Cooper – Daisy’s brother and the co-creator of This Country – as the new Moneypenny. James Bond might still have a place in the world – currently the best way for that to happen would be to rip off the visceral flesh and blood stuntwork of the Mission: Impossible films – but not if it means making it comedic. The world needs a James Bond comedy like it needs to be smashed in the shins with a golf club. There’s the fact that, just a month ago, producer Barbara Broccoli told reporters that no script exists for the next James Bond film, and no casting decisions have been made whatsoever, and that it will probably be two or three years before any sort of casting announcements are made. Several outlets have reported that Cooper is either definitely going to be M, or in discussion with Eon Productions about becoming M in the next Bond film. A semi-official moratorium has fallen over the shrieking clickbait dedicated to wondering aloud whether Aaron Taylor Johnson or Idris Elba or about eight people from Game of Thrones or any actor seen in public in a suit will be chosen to succeed Daniel Craig as James Bond.
