Noel Gallagher, the band’s front man, has stated that he would be honored to write the song for the upcoming Bond movie and that he would be interested in playing a “Mancunian villain.”
Noel Gallagher says he would like to play a villain in the next 007 film and would happily write the next Bond song if asked.
The Oasis rocker, 58, also said that any track for the next instalment should be performed by a British artist. Asked how he would respond if Barbara Broccoli phoned him up, Gallagher said: “I’d say ‘all right Babs’… for Oasis to do it?
“Alright, yes, that would be an honor, I know. I believe Brits should handle those things, not Yanks, as you may well know.
In response to rumors that the band was on Amazon’s wishlist, he also stated that he had not been asked. He joked on TalkSport with Andy Goldstein that he would be interested in playing the role of a “Mancunian villain” in the movie, though.

Noel has previously stated that he wanted to write a Bond song. He once said, “I’ve written a few Bond theme songs.”
“I would have to adjust the title accordingly because they don’t have very Bond-like titles. I listened to the most recent one and said, “F***ing hell man, that’d make a f***ing great Bond theme.”
Lead guitarist Noel recently wrapped up the highly anticipated Oasis Live 25 reunion world tour alongside brother Liam, 53, and their bandmates.
It came almost 15 years after the band’s dramatic breakup as a result of a conflict between the siblings. Who will play the iconic secret agent and who will be in charge of the 007 theme song is yet to be announced for the film.
Artists who have lent their voices to the blockbusters in recent years include Adele with Skyfall (2012), Billie Eilish with No Time To Die (2020) and Madonna with Die Another Day (2002). Broccoli and fellow producer Michael G Wilson have stepped away after handing over creative control to Amazon MGM studios as part of a lucrative deal, with the pair remaining as co-owners of the franchise.
Since the first 007 movie, Dr. No, in 1962, members of the Broccoli family had been in charge of the official franchise on their own or through a partnership with others.
Steven Knight, a 65-year-old British screenwriter, made the announcement in August that the next movie would be written.
Oasis is credited with producing songs like Wonderwall, Live Forever, Shakermaker, and Half the World Away.
