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 Wilson Bethel become the Seventh James Bond?

Bethel’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Hart of Dixie (2011-2015) and The Young and the Restless (2009-2011). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Bethel now is – what next?

Three reasons Wilson Bethel would be good for the James Bond franchise

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