Michael Fassbender Reveals He Advocated for Daniel Craig During James Bond Audition

Fassbender admits he promoted Craig for the 007 role during his own audition for Casino Royale, calling Craig the most successful Bond in history.

Michael Fassbender disclosed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he inadvertently promoted Daniel Craig during his audition for James Bond in Casino Royale.
Fassbender admitted he was never seriously considered for the role and described himself as being 'terrible at auditions.'
Daniel Craig went on to star in five Bond films from 2006 to 2021, becoming the franchise's most commercially successful lead actor.
Fassbender suggested Regé-Jean Page, his co-star in the new film Black Bag, as a potential frontrunner for the next James Bond.
The James Bond franchise is entering a new era under Amazon's creative control, with the search for Craig's successor ongoing.
