Daniel Craig says he would jump at the chance to work with Luca Guadagnino again. The English actor closed the book on his chapter of playing James Bond in 2021 and has since been quite selective in his artistic choices. In Queer, he plays William Lee, a fictional character based on the real life of his author William S Burroughs.
Inspired by the 1985 novella of the same name, it follows Lee who is on the pursuit for love in 1950s Mexico City. The Skyfall actor tells Sky News he had no doubts about taking on the role with Luca Guadagnino at the helm. "My career has been quite long and varied, and I've done all sorts of things and to expect a script like this to come along at this stage in my life is just a little bit too much [to ask] really," Craig says.
"I guess I have to be specific about [choosing roles in the future] because scripts like this just don't come along very often.". Queer: Turkish film festival cancelled after ban on Daniel Craig movie. London Film Festival 2024: Seven films to look out for at this year's LFF.
Daniel Craig is back in Knives Out sequel Glass Onion - and this time he's investigating influencers. He adds: "My expectations are quite low now because I can only work with him to get better." Turning to Guadagnino he says, "I mean, you know, if you ask me to do something, I'll do it.".
