Will Olivia Colman be in No Time To Die?

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Olivia hinted she may be set for a cameo role in the upcoming film.

Many will remember her from her role as the stepmother in Fleabag, where she worked with James Bond writer Phoebe Waller Bridge.

In the interview, Olivia joked she begged her former co-star to put her in the film, saying: “Oh trust me, I’ve tried! I’ve asked!”

While that may not be confirmation, Olivia confirmed these tactics were successful in getting her a role in Fleabag.

She continued: “I think I begged Phoebe to be in it [Fleabag], when she was writing the first.

“I will be eternally grateful to Phoebe, because she said, ‘What sort of things do you want to say?’

“And I went, ‘Could you write me someone who’s a total [spells out a four-letter expletive]?’”

At present, there’s not knowing whether she would get the chance to say similar things in Bond 25, if she does in fact feature in a cameo.
