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 Edinburgh wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Gary Lewis become the Seventh James Bond?

Lewis’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Goal! (2005), Billy Elliot (2000) and Outlander (2014-2016). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Lewis now is – what next?

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