Will Rebel Wilson Be The Next Bond Girl
Rebel Wilson recently made a shocking revelation, claiming that she has auditioned for the next James Bond film. She was approached by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who saw her host the 2022 BAFTA Film Awards. The actress explained that she had explained some Bond jokes to the producers ahead of the event, which put her in direct contact, eventually leading to an audition. Fans were quick to troll the actress.
if Bond’s next mission involves cracking jokes while infiltrating a stand-up comedy club, then Rebel Wilson is certainly the secret weapon MI6 needs.

I can’t really see her in a James Bond film… she’s too funny. Maybe Mission: Impossible but not Bond.

“What was really cool was getting to audition for Bond,” said Wilson, who stressed that she did not audition for the role of James Bond, but rather another character in the movie. The audition happened last year, though the star did not clearly mention whether she got the part or not. There have been rumors that Henry Cavill is in the running for the lead role in the film.
“It’s one of the hardest gigs,” said Wilson, “because two hours before, [they were like] ‘Let’s just change everything.’ So I had to get up there and wing it. There was so much chaos in that show. Certain people don’t come, and then they change the order for the show.”
Rebel Wilson Taking The Director’s Chair For The Deb
Reflecting on her decision to look outside the studio system for her first directorial, the actress said her experience with previous films encouraged her to take a different route for her directorial debut. The Australian actor will soon be seen taking on the director’s responsibility for the independent feature film, The Deb. The movie has been backed by billionaire investor Len Blavatnik and is produced by Unigram and AI Films.
“As a businesswoman, I guess I was — I don’t want to say the word victim — but I’ve been in situations before where you’re asked to defer fees, and then it gets sold to a streamer, and you never see any of the profit or any of the upside.”
The actress said her film Senior Year, which came out last year, was watched by 89 million unique users on Netflix within the first 10 days of its release on the streaming platform. She said her law degree was put to good use in cracking the licensing deal with the streaming giant.
