Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher told talkSPORT Drive he’d jump at scoring the next 007 film-and playing a baddie.
At a Glance
- Noel Gallagher says it would be “an absolute honor” to write the Bond 26 theme
- He insists Bond songs “should be done by Brits, not Yanks”
- Gallagher volunteered to play “a Mancunian villain” if asked
- Why it matters: Fans have waited years for news on the franchise’s musical and casting direction
No call has come from longtime producer Barbara Broccoli, but Gallagher made his pitch loud and clear during the 5 January radio spot.
The Pitch
Host Andy Goldstein asked what Gallagher would do if Broccoli rang about the theme. The 58-year-old laughed, then answered straight:
> “Absolutely, yeah, of course, it’d be an absolute honor!”
He doubled down on British talent leading the soundtrack, saying past themes lost their way when Americans took the mic.
Screen Ambitions
Gallagher didn’t stop at music. When the topic shifted to on-screen roles, he offered:
> “I’ll play a villain, I’ll play a Mancunian villain!”
The next Bond actor remains officially un-cast. Rumored names include:
- Callum Turner (denies any meetings)
- Jacob Elordi
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Daniel Craig exited after No Time to Die in 2021. Broccoli told The Guardian in October 2023 that the team hadn’t “even begun” reinventing the series for its next chapter.
Tour Wrap-Up
Oasis wrapped their Oasis Live ’25 Tour in November 2025, leaving Gallagher free to chase 007 gigs-or acting auditions.
