French actress Léa Seydoux has officially closed the chapter on her time in the James Bond franchise, expressing complete indifference regarding who will succeed Daniel Craig as the iconic 007.

Speaking at the London Film Festival premiere of her new project Gentle Monster on Saturday, October 10, 2026, the 41-year-old star reflected candidly on her time playing psychiatrist Madeleine Swann. Seydoux appeared across two major installments, making her debut in Spectre (2015) before reprising her character as Craig’s primary romantic partner in No Time to Die (2021). While expressing affection for her time on set, the actress emphasized that her involvement with the franchise has come to a definitive end, adding that she holds no preference or suggestion for the next actor to take up the mantle.

Seydoux’s remarks arrive as Amazon MGM Studios actively conducts the casting process for the next incarnation of the British spy, following the conclusion of Craig’s five-film tenure. While the creative team continues evaluating candidates, various high-profile actors—including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jacob Elordi, Paul Mescal, and Jack Lowden—have remained central to ongoing industry casting speculation.
