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 Lili Taylor become the Seventh James Bond?

Taylor’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in American Crime (2015-2017), The Conjuring (2013) and The Notorious Bettie Page (2005). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Taylor now is – what next?

Three reasons Lili Taylor 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 57-year-old American?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Taylor.
  3. It would give Lili Taylor a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
