London, Jun 18 (PTI): Fleabag star and creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge is reportedly in negotiations with the producers of the James Bond film franchise to work on a spin-off following the iconic British spy's daughter, Mathilde.
It was recently revealed that Daniel Craig's Bond in No Time to Die has a five-year-old daughter named Mathilde, after the film's call sheet was sold on eBay.
The makers, who brought Golden Globe-winner Waller-Bridge on board to "spice up" the script of No Time to Die, now want her to offer ideas for a film focusing on Mathilde, as she trains to become a spy.
"Bond bosses are very excited about 007 having a daughter and creating a new franchise around her."
"It is likely to feature Bond conflicted over having to train her up as an assassin combined with Waller-Bridge's trademark black humour, shown in Killing Eve.
She might just offer ideas and co-produce as roles are yet to be decided, but the bosses are keen to give her a big part in the film's production, a revealed a source.
No Time to Die, which marks Craig's fifth and final outing as Bond, will hit the theatres in the UK on November 12 and in the US on November 20.
To match anticipation, No Time to Die release in the US advanced by five days to Nov 20
