Real Steel star Hugh Jackman has admitted he would like a chance to play British secret agent James Bond.
It would appear several actors are after Daniel Craig's role, as Idris Elba and Hugh Jackman both expressed interest in playing the iconic agent. During an interview with the Press Association, Hugh Jackman revealed he missed the opportunity to play Bond in Casino Royale.
"I got a call from my agent saying 'There is some possible interest in you for Bond, are you interested? At the time I wasn't," Jackman explained. "I was about to shoot X-Men 2 and Wolverine had become this thing in my life and I didn't want to be doing two such iconic characters at once."
However the actor seems to have had a change of heart since and added: "I think every male at some point thinks about playing James Bond so it was not right then, but it may be right if it comes back."
The actor is set to reprise his role as Logan in James Mangold's The Wolverine which will be following the X-Men character to Japan to train as a samurai warrior.
A released date for The Wolverine has not yet been announced.
