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 Nicholas Braun become the Seventh James Bond?
Braun’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in How to Be Single (2016), Date and Switch (2014) and The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Braun now is – what next?
Three reasons Nicholas Braun would be good for the James Bond franchise

- No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Braun.
- It would give Nicholas Braun a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
