Every man, at some point in his life, wishes he could be James Bond. And with the news that Daniel Craig may well be out as 007, there are a whole bunch of actors from London to Los Angeles wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Jensen Ackles become the Seventh James Bond?

Ackles’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Smallville (2001-2011), My Bloody Valentine (2009) and Dark Angel (2000-2002). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Ackles now is – what next?

Three reasons Jensen Ackles would be good for the James Bond franchise

  1. It would clarify that Bond is a rotating identity: If M can be a woman, why can't James Bond be a 46-year-old American?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Ackles.
  3. It would give Jensen Ackles a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
