James Bond No Time To Die script: ‘They were already updating 007’ – Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Craig added: “I know where you’re going, but I don’t actually want to have that conversation.

“I know what you’re trying to do, but it’s wrong. It’s absolutely wrong.

“She’s a f—— great writer. One of the best English writers around. I said, ‘Can we get her on the film?’ That’s where I came from.”

And now Phoebe has spoken for herself in a new interview with the BBC, claiming the franchise heads were modernising Bond themselves anyway and she was simply recruited because she’s writer, as Craig said.

The 34-year-old said: “They were already doing that themselves. They’re having that conversation with themselves the whole time.”
