Actress Léa Seydoux, who has worked with both actors and returns to the character of Madeleine in No Time to Die, has been asked about the outcome of a fight between them. And she has no doubt who would emerge victorious from the encounter. James Bond or Ethan Hunt?
Daniel Craig and Tom Cruise. Can you think of any bigger action stars? One is the best 007 agent of all the James Bond movies; the other, the one and only Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible. Both actors are experts in fight scenes and performing high-risk stunts. For the upcoming Mission Impossible 7, Tom Cruise has jumped into the void on a motorcycle and has managed to descend by parachute. Don't duplicate him, Tom Cruise himself. It was his most dangerous stunt to date. With Daniel Craig there are many others. And they are 53 (Craig) and 59 years old (Cruise). So, Daniel Craig-Tom Cruise, who would win in a fight?
Place your bets. James Bond or Ethan Hunt: no high-tech weapons or a hidden steel filament in an Omega watch. With fists. Who would win?
It may be difficult for you to decide, but there is someone who has worked with both actors and is clear about who would win the match. This is the actress Léa Seydoux, who worked with Cruise in Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol and with Craig in Spectre, and who has now returned with agent 007 for Daniel Craig's farewell. She has seen the results of Daniel Craig's training for No Time to Die and, still, she has no doubt: he would win Tom Cruise.
According to Insider, the question was asked on “The Graham Norton Show,” with Daniel Craig in front. The actor had just told how he broke Dave Bautista's nose on the set of Specter ("by accident", Craig promises it was an accident) and yet the actress of Madeleine Swann, 007's mortal companion, did not hesitate one bit. moment. “In a fight, who would win: Daniell or Tom Cruise?”, and then, the laughter:
Léa Seydoux also told why she has returned to the franchise. She says she has a lot to do with how much the quality of female characters has improved. In part, thanks to the work of Fleabag screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge, she has joined the No Time to Die team:
She wrote for us [Lashana Lynch and Seydoux]. I love her, I'm a big fan of hers in fact, but I saw her briefly on set and I wish I'd had more time with her.
For his part, although Daniel Craig is skeptical about the possibility that a woman could be the next James Bond, he agrees with Seydoux on this:
We didn't have enough time with Phoebe. She's very, very busy... But she came and had a big influence on the script. She is one of the best there is and she freed up a lot of things.
