Glen Powell agrees he 'should not' be in the running for this iconic character

Powell, Glen Powell isn’t interested in becoming the next James Bond.

“I’m Texan. A Texan should not play James Bond,” he told The Hollywood Reporter this week.

He continued, “My family and I joke around, I can play Jimmy Bond, but I should not be playing James Bond. Get an authentic Brit for that job. That’s who belongs in that tuxedo.”

Powell may not be fit for the role, but his schedule is filling up fast with new projects, including the Hulu comedy “Chad Powers” and the Stephen King adaptation “The Running Man,” both out later this year.

He also confirmed that he and his “Anyone But You” co-star Sydney Sweeney are “still talking” about making a sequel to the hit rom com.

The 36-year-old has his sights set on working behind the camera too, as a director.

“That’s something I’d love to do,” he told THR. "But right now, I’m getting to be in film school, I’m getting to work with [Richard] Linklater and Lee Isaac Chung and J.J. Abrams and Edgar Wright. I’m working with my heroes.

"And what’s been really, really fun is — every set I’m on, I pick up things. Whenever that time comes, I’ll be much more prepared.”

With Powell taking himself out of the running, the field is still wide open for the next James Bond.

Amazon took over creative control of the franchise in February this year after initially requiring distribution rights in 2022.

“Dune” director Denis Villeneuve is set to helm the next entry in the film, with casting still to be determined.
