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 Burn Gorman become the Seventh James Bond?

Gorman’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Revenge (2013-2013), Forever (2014-2015) and Pacific Rim (2013). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Gorman now is – what next?

Three reasons Burn Gorman 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 Burn Gorman?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Gorman.
  3. It would give Burn Gorman a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
