Speaking at a screening of the Andrew Haigh-directed film in London recently, Scott told the crowd: “He’d probably be a great James Bond. I want to see him in Gladiator first.”
Drawn himself on whether he would like the chance to play Bond, Mescal, who is currently shooting Ridley Scott’s Gladiator sequel, previously told Digital Spy in 2020: “Would I play Bond? Yeah? I don’t know. If it ever came my way, we’d discuss it.”
