Jeffrey Wright: 'There Is No Bigger Bond Fan Than Queen Elizabeth'

James welcomes Jeffrey Wright and Edgar Wright to the show (no, this isn't a family reunion) and asks Jeffrey about what makes a good director. Then, Edgar talks about attending the premiere of Jeffrey's movie "No Time To Die" at Royal Albert Hall, and Jeffrey discusses meeting the royal family. After Edgar gives his take on who the next James Bond could be, Jeffrey talks about his role in the new Wes Anderson movie "The French Dispatch".

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

I did not know that The Watcher and the director of Scott Pilgrim were related! LOL

[vincehenriquez]

Edgar Wright is one of the best filmmakers alive. I don't think this audience appreciated who they were seeing here !

[bylikethepastry]

I wish James would have asked Jeffrey Wright about some The Batman details but I guess James was not allowed to 👀

[ayol]

Edgar to his left, works with Wes Anderson and Jonathan Nolan. If that doesn't highlights Jeffrey Charisma I don't know what will.

[j.aghorbani]

Jeffrey Wright is super charismatic and articulate

[JackMellor]

Edgar Wright needs to do a Bond film ASAP.
After seeing a serious film like Last Night in Soho, and his more fun comedic movies, I think he could be a killer director for 007.

I would have been tempted at the opening to ask : so gentlemen, did you bring your aeroplane ?
(as in the 'Wright Brothers').

What Edgar said was probably the best lines ever written, look like no one expected something like that. A few days ago I went to see No time to die at the cinema, and I found it incredible. 15 years later, Daniel Craig says goodbye to James Bond, which was the most important role in his carrer.

Jeffery Wright representing!! MURICA!! 🇺🇸

Couldn't agree more with the Dark / Milk chocolate remark by Edgar Wright. My money is on Tom Hiddleston for the next Bond.

[hakanardadincli]

Ha jeffrey said to the Gills, reminds you of joe rogan and joey diaz. Lol

[samwats]

holy sh*t, ive only just had this thought, imagine if UK won the war. we abolished slavery in 1830s.. how different it would be.. as Jeffrey said 'i remind myself we won', it hit me. eerie thought heh.

[sammas]

It would be so extra, if they had casted someone who was a Bond previosuly.

[Bharathbhushan.]

what's that dark chocolate, milk chocolate thing about?

[Spartan--yrwo]

James ridiculous chat show voice, is the same as the one he uses when Smithy introduces his girlfriend.

[imthebadguy]

Julius Jones murdered Paul Howell in front of his children.

[legoboy]

In the Top 10 best directors of all time !

[mrmexicansavage]

You should do a carpool karaoke with Selena Gomez again

[JadedKate]

hang on, is this the guy that played Beetee in Hunger Games ?

[MS-dhgh]

I wonder if the next bond not being played by a woman of colour but actually be the next 007 is because “james bond” is the Queen’s guy
