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 Mark Addy become the Seventh James Bond?

Addy’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Robin Hood (2010), Still Standing (2002-2006) and A Knight's Tale (2001). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Addy now is – what next?

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