Daniel Craig has taken off the mantle of 007 after his latest outing in ‘No Time To Die’, and now there is a massive quest to find the next actor to take up the title. Names like Henry Cavill, Tom Hardy, and Idris Elba have all fluttered around in people’s minds.
However, one name you probably wouldn’t think of is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. As a fan of the Bond series, let me be the first to tell Johnson no.
During an interview with Esquire, Johnson revealed that he would like to become a part of the franchise to carry on a family tradition, but he doesn’t want to be a villain like his grandfather. No, he wants to be the legendary MI6 agent himself.
‘Yes, my grandfather was a Bond villain in You Only Live Twice with Sean Connery. Very, very cool. And I would like to follow in his footsteps and be the next Bond. I don’t wanna be a villain. You gotta be Bond,‘
Johnson explained.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Says He Wants To Be James Bond
We’ve become a culture where all we want to do is change characters to suit a more politically correct culture. Adding sexual preferences, changing skin color, or even ethnicity, and while there may be some cases for it, this is definitely not one of them. No, not because of race, or color, but for the simple fact that Johnson is not British, doesn’t have the acting ability, and would ruin the character. Go ahead, fire away at me in the comments. I don’t care.
James Bond is, and will always be, British. We already ruined Sherlock Holmes, don’t @ me. Downey Jr. is a fantastic actor but as Sherlock Holmes? Meh.
Johnson is not a good actor, yes, I said it. We all know it, let’s put down this fake will that we have for him take makes him some big movie star. Is he entertaining? Absolutely! A great actor? No. He doesn’t have the mystique or ability to pull off a suave James Bond.
If he wants to be part of the franchise, fine. Throw him in a minor role or even some evil henchman like Batista! That’d be the perfect role for him.
For now, though, he needs to be stopped.
