"There's no sense in going off half-Cox"

Charlie Cox may be an MI6 spy in the new Netflix drama Treason, but playing the other famous MI6 spy couldn't be further from his mind. 

"I'm not right for it", he humbly declared.

 

"And also, now I think if anything, Treason rules me out even more because I've kind of done it. It's almost too close to home.

 

"I'm vaguely aware that there's lots of conversation around it. Every time I'm aware of someone in conversation, I genuinely think: 'Yeah, they'd be much better than I would'.

"Not that it wouldn't be a huge honour, but with my ongoing Marvel contract and those projects that I'm doing, I get to scratch my James Bond itch a little bit, pretty much. 

 

"I get to be in a suit and run around and have the day-to-day interesting life as a lawyer, and someone who's trying to do good and I do get a lot of pseudo spy stuff. I've got my own secrets that I can't tell anyone, and I get to jump off buildings in spandex and stuff. So I'm pretty happy with that".

 

"I get obviously the comparison's easy to make, but I don't think that's on the cards for me. I'd also really like them to do something a bit different than go with a middle-aged white male".
