Pierce Brosnan is shaking and stirring up his role in the world of espionage. After famously playing agent James Bond in four films, Brosnan is now heading up an intelligence agency in Black Bag, the new film from Steven Soderbergh.

Now that the franchise is entering a new era, there’s no better time to look at its most recent era. Specifically, Daniel Craig’s. Not all of his films were great, but if there were never to be another actor playing Bond, it’s undoubted the character would have gone out with a very successful bang.

After being asked by host Josh Horowitz if there was “ever a real Bond conversation” involving Fassbender, the X-Men actor responded, “I met with Barbara Broccoli just, you know, through passing and I actually went in for an audition phase before Daniel [Craig] was cast, but I don’t think I was ever in the mix.”

Michael Fassbender has recalled his "terrible" audition for James Bond revealing he ended up telling producers to hire Daniel Craig instead of himself.
