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 in London wondering what they could bring to the role.
Could Benedict Wong become the Seventh James Bond?
Wong’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Doctor Strange (2016) and Marco Polo (2014-2016). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Wong now is – what next?
Three reasons Benedict Wong would be good for the James Bond franchise

- No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Wong.
- It would give Benedict Wong a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
