Daisy May Cooper is reportedly in talks to star in the James Bond films as spy chief 'M'.

The actress, 36, is said to have caught the eye of production bosses who hope she will being some humour and unique style to the role.

She would take on the part from former stars who include Dame Judi Dench and Ralph Fiennes.

The possibility is said to have come about after Daisy's good friend Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 37, joined the production as a script consultant.

Bosses are apparently keen to overhaul the films now Daniel Craig has left as 007 after the release of his last film No Time To Die in September 2021. 

A source told The Sun: 'Daisy is a close pal of Phoebe, whose involvement in Bond was such a success that it sparked an unlikely conversation.

'Suddenly the production team were getting excited about the prospect of really taking ‘M’ in a different direction.

'With Daniel leaving, it seemed the time to start looking at changes across the board and the dynamic between Bond and ‘M’ is at the heart of the films.

'So this opens the door to it being a bit lighter and more comedic going forwards — and will of course impact the direction the new 007 goes in too.'
