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 Los Angeles wondering what they could bring to the role.
Could Nelsan Ellis become the Seventh James Bond?
Ellis’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in True Blood (2008-2014), Get on Up (2014) and The Butler (2013). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Ellis now is – what next?
Three reasons Nelsan Ellis 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 45-year-old American?
- No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Ellis.
- It would give Nelsan Ellis a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
