Gemma Arterton Still Doesn’t Understand James Bond Film Quantum Of Solace

Gemma Arterton has made a very honest admission about her stint in the James Bond universe.

The British actor played MI6 agent Strawberry Fields in 2008’s Quantum Of Solace, which marked Daniel Craig’s second outing as 007.

Critical reception for the film was a little on the muted side, with many reviews describing Quantum Of Solace as being a bit confusing – even its leading man once described the project as a “shit-show”.

During an interview on Radio X earlier this week, Gemma was asked about her time in the Bond franchise, claiming: “No one understands that film!”

When presenter Dominic Byrne pressed her on whether she “understood it while you were making it”, she admitted: “No! No, I didn’t know what was going on!”

He then joked that he’d “tried to watch it two or three times”, to which Gemma quipped: “That’s more than I have!”

Daniel went on to play James Bond on five occasions, beginning with Casino Royale and ending on 2021’s No Time To Die, the release of which was postponed numerous times due to the Covid pandemic.

It’s now been almost six years since Daniel hung up his golden gun, but a successor at the helm of the James Bond franchise is yet to be unveiled.

What we do know is that the upcoming 26th Bond movie will be directed by Denis Villeneuve – best known for his work on the Dune films – and written by Peaky Blinders and House Of Guinness creator Steven Knight.

The James Bond franchise has been undergoing some major changes behind the scenes in recent history, most notably the departure of long-serving producer Barbara Broccoli, resulting in full creative control going to production company Amazon MGM Studios.
