Daniel Craig’s Reaction to Doctor Strange 2 Rumors Is VERY Suspicious

Daniel Craig played James Bond for 16 years, but the actor reportedly almost joined another huge franchise. Earlier this year, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was released and featured some big cameos, including John Krasinksi as Mister Fantastic. It was previously reported that the Illuminati scene was originally going to feature Craig, but he was unable to film due to COVID concerns. According to the rumors, the actor was going to play Balder the Brave, Thor’s half-brother. During a recent interview with Happy Sad Confused podcast’s Josh Horowitz (via The Direct), Craig gave an interesting answer when asked about the role. 

Horowitz asked Craig if he had ever heard of Balder the Brave, and Craig reluctantly said “No.” The actor then took a sip of his drink and hid behind his cup before adding, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” While Craig didn’t confirm the Doctor Strange rumors, he did answer the question of whether or not he’d join the MCU. “I would take any job if the hours were good,” he said with a laugh. “Sure, absolutely. Yeah, definitely.”

While speaking with ComicBook.com recently, Craig also addressed the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness rumors. During an interview about Glass Onion, Craig played it a bit coy when asked about Marvel, but said, “I should be so lucky.”
