Julian McMahon, binnenkort te zien als Victor Von Doom in Fantastic Four, is een van de overgebleven acteurs die in de race is om Pierce Brosnan op te volgen als vertolker van James Bond.

In een interview met IESB vertelde de Australische acteur iets over de gewilde rol.

[eng]"People have been talking about different people being included in playing the role, and I've been included as one of those people...Whoever signs on will definitely be signed on for a number of Bonds. The thing is, you want someone to continue it for a certain period of time - I don't think you want to be bringing in a different James Bond every year. Bring him in for five or six."[/eng]
