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 Copenhagen wondering what they could bring to the role.
Could Pilou Asbæk become the Seventh James Bond?
Asbæk’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Ben-Hur (2016), Lucy (2014) and The Borgias (2013-2013). His commercial appeal is growing, too.
The question for Asbæk now is – what next?
