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 Paul Anderson become the Seventh James Bond?

Anderson’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in The Revenant (2015), Top Boy (2011-2013) and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Anderson now is – what next?

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