CIA Agent Felix Leiter \u2013 a long-standing ally who was played by Jeffrey Wright three times during Craig\u2019s stint as Bond \u2013 also met an unfortunate end in a memorable scene earlier in the film.<\/p>\n
Of course, the character has previously been played by many other actors including Jack Lord and David Hedison so there is nothing stopping a new iteration of the character from being introduced in future Bond films \u2013 and this is a prospect Wright himself would like to see.<\/p>\n
Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> for an upcoming Big RT Interview<\/a> about his role in the newly released Oscar-nominated satire American Fiction, Wright was asked if he hopes the character would make a return played by a different actor in the new era of Bond.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, sure,\u201d he responded. \u201cI mean, I was just the latest in a long wonderful line of actors who played Felix, sure.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cYou know, I had a nice run with Daniel, and yeah on to the next \u2013 if there\u2019s a next. I will absolutely be tuning in.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Wright made his debut as Felix in Casino Royale before returning two years later for a smaller role in A Quantum of Solace, but he sat out the next two Bond films before reprising the role one more time in No Time To Die.<\/p>\n He is up for the Best Actor award at the upcoming Oscars for his leading role in American Fiction, while other recent credits include roles in Rustin and Asteroid City<\/a> and playing Jim Gordon in The Batman<\/a> \u2013 a role he will reprise in an upcoming sequel.<\/p> You can read more from Jeffrey Wright in an upcoming edition of The Big RT Interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n American Fiction is now showing in UK cinemas.
