The former wrestler said he would love to star in the franchise despite vowing to move away from his previous tough-guy roles.
He is quoted as saying: "I would love to be a Bond baddie. I am a big fan of the films."
The 35-year-old will star in Fox's The Tooth Fairy and voice a character in new animated film Planet 51.
He previously starred in The Scorpion King, Welcome to the Jungle and Southland Tales.

Well he did play a sort of bad guy in the game-turned-movie Doom. But honestly, I don't think I could see him as a villain... he wouldn't be able to carry it off, in my opinion. Cast him in a funny role, i.e. comedian, then he excels.

This would be the perfect role for Dwayne. If there ever was a role for him, I think this would be it. As a bad guy in wrestling he was gold! He plays the bad guy great and can really make you love to hate him!
