Craig’s fifth and final James Bond movie is set to shoot in 2018, but not much is known about the 25th official 007 outing.
Now Murder on the Orient Express star Sir Ken has revealed he would love to play the Bond villain.
Speaking with The Mirror, the 57-year-old said: “I think as an actor that is always delicious to play.
“I am a connoisseur of those Bond villains. But is a hard one to do. I loved Javier Bardem in Skyfall. [Craig’s villains were] almost Shakespearean.”
Sir Ken added: “That franchise has been great at responding to the way that audiences want to receive the material.
“That is not trying to be a cartoon – they want to have as much complication as possible.”
The last British actor to play a Bond villain was Toby Stephens as Gustav Graves in 2002’s Die Another Day.
However rumours suggest Christoph Waltz’s Blofeld will return after Spectre, something the star denies.
Waltz told Italian channel Talky Movie: “No, I’m sorry. I’m really sad, but that’s the tradition, that there is a new (actor)… Sorry. I would’ve liked to.”
James Bond 25 will be released in UK cinemas in November 2019.
