James Bond latest No Time To Die is currently shooting with Daniel Craig, but fans have been wondering just who will bag the coveted theme song over the opening credits. Well, now Ed Sheeran’s manager Stuart Camp has revealed that the singer has had a meeting with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and is very keen to take up the challenge. Speaking with Music Week, Camp said: “We met [Bond producer] Barbara Broccoli when we played Dublin [in 2017] and they were interested. Danny Boyle was attached to the film after that, who made Yesterday [which featured Sheeran], so there was a close connection there.”
Camp continued: “Obviously they changed directors but we’re still open to it, but they’re not even having those conversations yet.
“Ed asks me [about it] every day. and I say, ‘The thing they do last is the music’.
“Those [stories] that said he’s Daniel Craig’s favourite act and it’s all happening aren’t true.
“It’s certainly something he’d want to do though, it’s a box that’s still to be ticked, for sure.”

Last year a-ha spoke to Express.co.uk about their The Living Daylights theme dispute 30 years on.
The process of producing the record, one a-ha’s most memorable singles alongside Take On Me, wasn’t exactly easy and the band got into an argument with veteran 007 composer John Barry.
Paul Waaktaar-Savoy said: “As I say we were in the middle of doing our second album so we were busy doing other stuff. I was a little bit…we had different working methods and we came across as a little too efficient. We were like, ‘okay we’ve just got to get this done.’
“And we didn’t want to cancel a show to come to the premiere, so there were certain things like that that rubbed him up the wrong way.”
He continued: “So he got really…y’know. And we felt there was a wrong note in the string arrangements, so we fixed it, but he didn’t like that.”
Nevertheless, Paul doesn’t have any bad feelings over their disagreement.
He added: “But do I think he did a great job. It was a fantastic string score. We just had one chord in the middle that was important to us that was changed and hey, stuff like that happens.”
No Time To Die is released in UK cinemas on April 3, 2020.
