Next James Bond: Outlander star Sam Heughan talks playing ‘more authentic’ version of 007 | Films | Entertainment

Heughan’s character Buckingham finds himself trapped on the Eurostar after it is taken over by terrorists in the movie.

While he had plans to propose to his girlfriend in Paris, he’s left with no choice but to keep the passengers of the train safe and go toe-to-toe with terrifying terrorist leader Grace Lewis (Ruby Rose).

Speaking directly about the rumours he would be taking on the Bond role next, the 40-year-old told The Independent: “I don’t know if there is a conversation being had, apart from in the media.

“But I think it’s an incredible franchise and a great character, so of course I would jump at it.”
