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 Beijing wondering what they could bring to the role.
Could Jiang Wen become the Seventh James Bond?
Jiang’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Rogue One (2016) and Let the Bullets Fly (2010). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Jiang now is – what next?
Three reasons Jiang Wen would be good for the James Bond franchise
- It would clarify that Bond is a rotating identity: If M can be a woman, why can't James Bond be a 61-year-old Chinese?
- No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Jiang.
- It would give Jiang Wen a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
