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 Hong Kong wondering what they could bring to the role.
Could Daniel Wu become the Seventh James Bond?
Wu’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Warcraft (2016), Shinjuku Incident (2009) and Protégé (2007). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Wu now is – what next?
Three reasons Daniel Wu 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 50-year-old ?
- No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Wu.
- It would give Daniel Wu a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
