Director Marcel has recently found herself among a notable list of directors being considered for the upcoming Bond 26 film. The Telegraph reported that she is in the company of other esteemed directors like Edward Berger, David Michod, Yann Demange, and Bart Layton, all potential candidates to helm the next installment in the iconic Bond franchise.

In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Marcel expressed her excitement at being included in such a prestigious lineup of directors. She described the experience as "extraordinary" and "humbling," especially considering the historical lack of female directors in the Bond series. Marcel conveyed her gratitude at being mentioned alongside such talented individuals.

Addressing the ongoing speculation surrounding actor Tom Hardy potentially taking on the role of James Bond, Marcel shed light on the deliberate choice to present Hardy’s character in a more polished and sophisticated manner in the latest Venom installment, titled "Venom: The Last Dance." She hinted at the possibility of showcasing what Hardy could bring to the iconic spy role through his portrayal in the film.

Marcel hinted at the idea of Hardy’s version of Bond by presenting him in a more refined and action-packed persona in the movie. She explained that the decision to dress Hardy’s character in sharp attire for the action sequences was a deliberate nod to the persistent rumors surrounding his potential casting as James Bond. Marcel emphasized that she wanted to give Hardy’s character the suave and stylish treatment he deserved.

Regarding the future of the Venom series, Marcel confirmed that "Venom: The Last Dance" marks the final chapter for Hardy’s antihero character. This conclusion potentially frees up Hardy for other projects, with rumors suggesting he could be a contender for the role of Kraven the Hunter. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is also mentioned as a frontrunner for the role, indicating that the casting decisions for upcoming projects are generating significant interest among fans and industry insiders.

"Venom: The Last Dance" is currently showing in cinemas, offering audiences a thrilling conclusion to Hardy’s portrayal of the iconic character.
