British mainstays like George MacKay are quickly getting used to fielding questions about James Bond casting rumors, with everyone from the likes of Tom Francis to MacKay’s own “Rose of Nevada” co-star Callum Turner reportedly being considered. But for the “1917” and “Pride” actor who’s in love with the “process” of filmmaking — and used to transforming — there’s an entirely different 007 role he’d love to play.

“I quite like the idea of a villain — maybe a one and done, chew the scenery a bit, come be part of it, get the best scenes and then get killed!” MacKay tells Variety with a laugh.
