X-Files Star Gillian Anderson Wants to be the Next 007

So, it seems pretty official that Daniel Craig will no longer be returning to the big screen as James Bond. In fact, a lot of actors have already shown interest in the role and several of them are already considered as frontrunners in the race to 007-dom.

One of the more interesting options for the role, though, is Gillian Anderson, who has also expressed interest in the role.

Gillian Anderson (@GillianA on Twitter) recently tweeted the following photo with the caption “It’s Bond. Jane Bond. Thanks for all the votes! (And sorry, don’t know who made poster but I love it!) #NextBond”:

There really isn’t any news yet on where the 007 franchise is going from here, but I have personally never thought of turning Bond into a woman on-screen. Hmm. Do you think 007 could work as a woman? Share your thoughts with us!
