Noel Gallagher, the 58-year-old Oasis rocker, expressed his interest in taking on a villain role in the upcoming 007 film and mentioned his willingness to write a James Bond song if given the opportunity. He emphasized the importance of having a British artist perform the track. Gallagher humorously shared that he would enthusiastically welcome a call from Barbara Broccoli, indicating his openness to the idea of Oasis contributing to the movie.
Despite rumors that Amazon had Oasis on their wishlist, Gallagher confirmed that he has not been formally approached. During an interview on TalkSport with Andy Goldstein, he playfully suggested that he would be keen on portraying a “Mancunian villain” in the film. Gallagher had previously shown interest in creating a Bond theme, mentioning that he had composed some tunes that he believed would fit perfectly into the Bond soundtrack.
Notably, Noel Gallagher recently concluded the highly anticipated Oasis Live 25 reunion tour alongside his brother Liam, marking a significant reunion after the band’s split almost 15 years ago. The 007 franchise has yet to announce the actor for the iconic secret agent role or the artist responsible for the theme song.
In recent years, artists like Adele, Billie Eilish, and Madonna have contributed their voices to Bond movies. Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson have relinquished creative control to Amazon MGM studios as part of a lucrative deal, while the franchise’s ownership transitions. Renowned British screenwriter Steven Knight, 65, has been chosen to pen the next Bond film.
Oasis, known for hits like Wonderwall and Live Forever, has a solid reputation in the music industry. As the Bond franchise evolves, fans eagerly anticipate the unfolding of the next chapter in this iconic series.
