0 Phoebe Waller-bridge: ‘Wit and quirkiness’ The creator and star of BBC hit comedy Fleabag has reportedly been enlisted to liven up the script of the upcoming 25th James Bond film.

Daniel Craig, who plays 007, is thought to have requested Phoebe Waller-bridge look at the script and hopes the comedian would bring her “wit and quirkiness” to the screenplay.

Craig is believed to be a fan of both Fleabag and Killing Eve, the thriller series Wallerbrid­ge adapted to screen.

Craig reportedly asked the actor to come on board and help “polish” the script by introducin­g offbeat humour.

The next Bond film has had a difficult production period. Danny Boyle was set to cowrite and direct the film, but parted ways with the producers after creative difference­s.
