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 Cairo wondering what they could bring to the role.
Could Amr Waked become the Seventh James Bond?
Waked’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Marco Polo (2014-2016), Lucy (2014) and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Waked now is – what next?
Three reasons Amr Waked 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 52-year-old Egyptian?
- No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Waked.
- It would give Amr Waked a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
