Michael Fassbender Reveals He Endorsed Daniel Craig for James Bond Role During His Own Audition

The actor reflects on his audition for 'Casino Royale,' his struggles with auditions, and his thoughts on potential future Bonds like Regé-Jean Page.

Michael Fassbender disclosed on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast that he auditioned for James Bond during the casting process for 'Casino Royale' but never felt seriously considered for the role.
During his audition, Fassbender surprisingly advocated for Daniel Craig, who ultimately became one of the most successful Bonds in the franchise's history.
Fassbender admitted he performed poorly in auditions, including arriving an hour late for 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' which he also did not land.
As speculation continues about the next James Bond, Fassbender suggested his 'Black Bag' co-star Regé-Jean Page as a strong contender, citing his qualities as fitting for the role.
The search for a new Bond follows Daniel Craig’s departure after five films, with no official announcements yet on who will take up the iconic role.
