Irish actress Saoirse Ronan has doubled down on her wish to join the cast of the next James Bond film, and wants to play the next villain.

While the next actor to play 007 has not been revealed – even though we can expect some news on that front soon – the star of The Grand Budapest Hotel, Lady Bird, Brooklyn and Little Women says she wants to get in touch with her dark side.

“I want to go dark,” she said in a recent interview with Empire. “I said that I wanted to be a Bond villain and I’m dead serious.”
