Michael Fassbender on playing James Bond: 'Let's see what happens'

Michael Fassbender has played down talk of him portraying James Bond after Daniel Craig leaves the long-running franchise.

The 34-year-old actor's recent performances in Inglourious Basterds and X-Men: First Class have led to suggestions that he could take on the iconic spy role in the future.

Speaking to Total Film, Fassbender said that he doesn't have any kind of long-term career plan regarding the Bond series.

"I think Daniel is doing a great job and I don't think too far into the future. It's one step at a time right now," he commented.

However, Fassbender confessed that he has fantasised about being 007 in the past.

"Of course, every guy knows the feeling of walking round the house singing the song to himself, walking around corners with an imaginary gun," he explained. "Let's see what happens."

Fassbender's new movie Shame, which sees him play a New Yorker battling with sex addiction, will open in the US on December 2 and January 13, 2012 in the UK.

Skyfall, Daniel Craig's third movie as James Bond, is currently filming for release in October 2012.
