It’s a bit like a James Bond movie because there are so many characters and it really felt like a family.
What was your experience of filming that like? I’m sure that people will be surprised and I hope they’ll love it.Īnother film you’ll be appearing in soon is Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch. And the film is not just entertaining, it’s actually very emotional.
It’s Daniel’s last James Bond film and he really deserves to have a great send-off. So much time has passed that it’s weird to now be doing the promotion for it, but I’m so happy. I think it was three months and on Spectre, it was eight months, but the role this time was bigger, so it felt very different. I did films right before and after No Time to Die, too, so the shooting process was compressed. There was also another scene in which I had to swim and stay in the water for almost a day. It’s the kind of thing you do in a James Bond film and, as an actor, it’s always good to push boundaries, but I’m not very brave so every time I had to do a little stunt I was nervous. That car chase was kind of scary but fun. There are so many incredible sequences in the film, including a car chase that we’ve seen in the trailer. But, I would love to see a female character like James Bond and I’m sure that will happen. No, I don’t think so, because James Bond is James Bond. When it was rumored that Lashana Lynch would be the new 007, there was a lot of speculation about the next Bond being a woman. They have real depth.ĭaniel Craig and Seydoux in No Time to Die. Plus, they’re not just strong characters. That, in a sense, is also very new and it was necessary. With Naomie Harris, Lashana Lynch, and Ana de Armas, there’s this panel of strong women in it and there’s diversity.
That was something new for this franchise because, in the past, the women in it were not as developed. We get to know her better so we are more attached to her. Were you surprised to find out that she would be only the first of Bond’s many love interests to appear significantly in two films? Madeleine is also so central to the film. They’re both damaged, they’re orphans, and Madeleine’s father was an assassin so she knows about this world. Because of that, we can better understand the relationship between Bond and Madeleine and why they’re so connected. We get to know more about her background and her relationship with her mother. I’m happy that, this time, I had the chance to develop the character a bit more. And then, of course, they asked me to come back. Léa Seydoux: I hoped she would, but I really thought that was Daniel’s last Bond film so when they called me to say that he was coming back, I was surprised. Then she joined the ensemble cast of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) as a sphinx-like maid, before signing on to play the soft-spoken but fiercely intelligent and capable Swann. By then, Seydoux had already received César Award nominations for French dramas such as La Belle Personne (2008) and Belle Épine (2010), and had enchanted viewers with her cameo in Inglourious Basterds (2009). In 2013, she and her co-star Adèle Exarchopoulos became the first performers to be awarded the Palme d’Or alongside their director Abdellatif Kechiche for the ravishing and controversial love story Blue is the Warmest Color. The 36-year-old French actor is used to making history. But in No Time to Die, the 25th installment of the blockbuster franchise which will mark Daniel Craig’s final appearance as the brooding secret agent, Léa Seydoux will do just that when she reprises her role from 2015’s Spectre as the enigmatic psychologist Madeleine Swann. It’s a fact easily forgotten that in 24 films released across six decades, no love interest has ever played a significant part in more than one James Bond movie.
