With a pop lineage that includes Madonna, Adele, Sam Smith, Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner and more, Charli xcx is reluctant to put herself up for the 007 franchise, according to Deadline.

The 3x Grammy winner, who most recently created the soundtrack for Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights, recently addressed whether she'd ever want to record a James Bond theme song as Amazon MGM Studios revamps the franchise.

"I got to say, I don't think that I am built for that," said Charli on SiriusXM's The Julia Cunningham Show. "I think I probably sing with too much AutoTune to do a James Bond. Never say never. I'm open to it if they want to call me, which they won't but, yeah. I think it might not be a fit, but that's, well, yeah. It's not going to happen now, is it? So amazing. I don't know," as quoted by Deadline.

"Barbara, call me," she jokingly motioned to the camera for producer Barbara Broccoli.

In June, Amazon MGM Studios officially tapped Denis Villeneuve to direct the next installment, and last month, Steven Knight was announced to write the film amid the studio's new 007 partnership with returning producers Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Tanya Lapointe will executive produce.

Daniel Craig played the iconic role of James Bond in Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015) and No Time to Die (2021). Following previous Bond stars Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan, Craig's successor has not yet been chosen.

Meanwhile, in addition to her Wuthering Heights soundtrack, Charli is coming off a Sundance triple feature, where her meta mockumentary The Moment debuted last weekend, along with her appearances in Gregg Araki's I Want Your Sex and Cathy Yan's The Gallerist, according to Deadline. (ANI)
