During our set visit to The Fantastic Four in Vancouver, we had a chance to run up to Julian McMahon after the official press conference.

The big question remaining was whether or not he was indeed in talks with the James Bond franchise producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, about taking over the role of 007.

“Unfortunately, it’s something I really can’t talk about,” McMahon said. However, he continued in a way that suggested he really was talking to somebody. “We’ll see what happens in regards to that but they’ve obviously got an extraordinary franchise which I’d be honored to be involved in at any point in time. We’ll see what happens.”

McMahon appears as Dr. Doom in the Fantastic Four, out this summer.
