Dominic Cooper has signed up to play James Bond creator Ian Fleming in a forthcoming four-part mini-series.
According to Variety, the show will be set during WWII “when the maverick and hedonistic Fleming was hired by British Naval intelligence as part of its undercover campaign against the Nazis.”
It was these experiences that inspired Fleming to write the first Bond novel Casino Royale in 1953, and the rest is history.
Cooper played the young Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger, while he also starred in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, The Devil’s Double and The History Boys.
