"Move Over Dench!”: James Bond Search For The Next M Addressed By Rumored Contender

British comic and actor Daisy May Cooper has responded to rumors she is in the running to play M in the next James Bond reboot. The fictional codename assigned to the Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service known as MI-6, over the past 25 Bond movies only four actors have ever played the role: Bernard Lee, Robert Brown, Judi Dench and Ralph Fiennes. Rather than being depicted as different iterations of the same character, over the years each new M has been a different character appointed to the role and accompanying codename beginning with Brown’s M who took over from Lee in the Roger Moore era.
