After being asked by host Josh Horowitz if there was “ever a real Bond conversation” involving Fassbender, the X-Men actor responded, “I met with Barbara Broccoli just, you know, through passing and I actually went in for an audition phase before Daniel [Craig] was cast, but I don’t think I was ever in the mix.”

And he was like, ‘I want you to say this phrase, ‘Get out of the room.’ But I want you to physicalize it Michael.’ … I couldn’t wait to get out of there. While it’s not specified, I’m willing to bet that Max Rockatansky was the role that our humble narrator was up for in this crazy scenario.

Michael Fassbender blew any chance he might have had of playing 007 when he recommended another actor for the iconic role – Daniel Craig.
