Do You Think Dwayne Johnson Should Be the Next James Bond? He Thinks He Should!
Dwayne Johnson has become quite the powerful force in Hollywood. He is one of the biggest and most likable actors working in entertainment industry, and he consistently pumps out entertaining and successful action movies.
Well, Johnson has another big franchise role that he would like to take on, and that role is James Bond. Yep, the actor and producer would like to Bond now that Daniel Craig’s reign is over. During a recent interview with Esquire, Johnson said:
"Yes, my grandfather was a Bond villain in You Only Live Twice with Sean Connery. [It] was very, very cool. And I would like to follow in his footsteps and be the next Bond. I don't want to be a villain. Got to be Bond."
I love Johnson, I enjoy watching his films, but I personally don’t think he’s Bond material. First of all, Bond is British! I don’t think that will ever change, and I just don’t think Johnson can effectively and seriously pull off acting British. That would just be more funny than anything.
But, Johnson can always create his own James Bond-inspired character and do whatever the hell he wants with it! He certainly has the power to create his own spy franchise if he wanted. It’s just hard to imagine him in the role of Bond.
What do you think? Do you think Johnson would make a good James Bond?
