Could Bobby Cannavale become the Seventh James Bond?
Cannavale’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Ant-Man (2015), Nurse Jackie (2012-2013) and Boardwalk Empire (2012-2012). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Cannavale now is – what next?
