Emilia Clarke of Game of Thrones fame has revealed her desire to play a female James Bond with Leonardo DiCaprio as the Bond boy.
“I have a lot of unrealised dreams," Clarke told Daily Star Sunday, "“I would love to play Jane Bond. My ultimate leading man would be Leonardo DiCaprio. No doubt about it."
With Daniel Craig likely done with the 007 role and potential replacements meeting with Bond producers, James Bond is up for the taking. Those dreams of Clarke's could be a reality if the Bond producers wish to cast the first ever female in the role. She was born in London so she satisfies that requirement (even though Sean Connery is Scottish, George Lazenby is Australian and Pierce Brosnan is Irish).
Aside from any Game of Thrones commitments and a movie in pre-production called Above Suspicion, Clarke's schedule is open. She stars opposite Sam Caitlin in Me Before You opening on Friday and completed Voice from the Stone where she plays a nurse caring for a boy who becomes silent after his mother dies, according to IMDb. Voice from the Stone has no release date yet.
