""Well, I think we [need to] start some kind of serious petition," Martin, who plays trans cop Alex in Wayward, said. "I don't want people to think that this is ironic or tongue-in-cheek. This is serious: I would like to play Bond. "He'd be sort of a feeble Bond. It'd be a different type of Bond than you've seen because he'd be kind of sweating and quivering and he'd be crying. His main move would be slapping people.""
"The latest 007 film, No Time to Die, starring Daniel Craig, was released in 2021. With it being common knowledge that the Knives Out star would not be returning to the role, there has been much talk about who would take ownership of the famous Walter PPK gun and assorted tech, with Jonathan Bailey and Luke Evans both favoured by fans. And it seems that some people rather like the idea of Mae Martin stepping into the fancy shoes and tux."
Mae Martin wants to play James Bond and proposes a reimagined, emotionally vulnerable version who sweats, quivers, cries and uses slapping as a primary move. The most recent 007 film, No Time to Die, was released in 2021 and Daniel Craig is not returning, prompting fan speculation about successors including Jonathan Bailey and Luke Evans. Some fans welcome the idea of Martin as Bond, while others object and label such casting "woke". Martin currently stars as trans police officer Alex in Wayward, portraying a character desperate for acceptance who finds it in a seemingly liberal utopian setting akin to 1970s cults.
