There have been many rumours over who could be the next James Bond, and if the next one could in fact be female, so our friends at Empire asked Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke if she would be up for the role, and unsurprisingly the answer was a definite "Yes".

"Yeah! Of course!" Emilia replied, "Hell to the yeah! James Bond is one of those franchises where it's never not cool.

"You could literally make the naffest James Bond in the world and it would still be cool."

Léa Seydoux and Daniel Craig

This comes after Emilia appeared on the red carpet of Last Christmas, a film which was written by Emma Thompson, based on the Wham! song of the same name. We caught up with Emilia who got to show off her vocal skills in the film, but admitted it was quite nerve wracking, saying, "It's a different thing, me singing for me, it's a very different thing singing in front of all of those people, and then a camera that's really, really close."

Meanwhile, it's only been a couple of weeks since Dua Lipa addressed the rumours that she will be singing the next Bond theme tune. When asked about it, she revealing, "I don't have the answer to that! I actually haven't been asked to do it.

"I would love to do it, of course," she confirmed, "But I haven't been asked to do it."

These rumours follow ones earlier this year were Ed Sheeran was supposedly being lined up to record the next Bond song. Back in July it was being reported that Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond, was very keen to have Ed sing on the track, with a source telling The Sunday Mirror that Daniel is a big Ed fan!

Another collab with Taylor's good friend Ed Sheeran, who helped write the track. It was the first time Taylor had worked with Future, but it was her third collab with a rapper following 'Bad Blood' with Kendrick Lamar and 'Both of Us' with B.o.B.

The source said, "Daniel was introduced to Ed’s music by his daughter Ella.

"She loves Ed, and Daniel now really likes his stuff too and wants Ed for the theme tune."

Meanwhile, Daniel Craig will be reprising his role as James Bond in the 25th film, now known as No Time To Die. No Time To Die will see Daniel Craig as the British secret agent, re-teaming him with the likes of Léa Seydoux, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear, and Jeffrey Wright. This time, he’ll be up against Rami Malek’s villain, and will be joined by new faces in Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, and Billy Magnussen.
