Daniel Craig’s time as James Bond is behind us. From the premiere It’s not time to die speculation about who will play agent 007 is not weak, and potential actors include, among others, Idris Elba or Henry Cavill. Everything indicates that we have one more candidate ready to take over the baton in the film adaptations of the cult novel by Ian Fleming.
Such a legendary role could not go unnoticed by Dwayne ?? a ?? The Rock ?? Johnson, who in an interview with the site Esquire announced that he would like to play the next James Bond. Johnson added that one of the reasons he wants to do so is because he has so fond memories of his grandfather Peter Fanene Maivia’s participation in the You Only Live Twice with Sean Connery:
Yes, my grandfather played the villain in You Only Live Twicewhich was really great. If for? as for me, I would like to follow his steps and become the new Bond. I don’t want to play the villain, it has to be Bond.
The fact that The Rock does not particularly resemble the stereotypical British spy-gentleman may be a minor problem, especially since the character of James Bond has never been played by an American actor. Another potential hurdle is the fact that Johnson is known for his involvement in an enormous number of productions at once, which could interfere with filming for a new feature film about Agent 007.
