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 Canberra wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Nathan Jones become the Seventh James Bond?

Jones’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Asterix at the Olympic Games (2008) and Troy (2004). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Jones now is – what next?

Three reasons Nathan Jones would be good for the James Bond franchise

  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Jones.
  3. It would give Nathan Jones a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
