Fitting the Bill

Bill Skarsgård won't be the next James Bond, but he would play a Bond villain.

"They didn't call me about James Bond", said the 36-year-old.

"I don't know what that was about. Every single British, Australian [actor]... but maybe they were like, 'We can't do a Swede for this guy'. I wasn't even thrown into the mix.

"I just want to go in and do one Mads Mikkelsen villain. It's not something that I'm actively looking for, but if I feel compelled to do something, yeah".
