Anthony Mackie wants to be James Bond

Anthony Mackie would be a "mellow" James Bond.
The 49-year-old actor is currently part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Avenger Falcon but he revealed he would love to be the next 007 and already knows how he’d play the iconic spy.
Speaking at London Comic Con on Saturday (28.10.17), Mackie said: "I’ve thought about this a lot. My Bond would be cool, I mean smooth, milky smooth.
"No nonsense, no pretence. My James Bond would be a very, very mellow man with the ladies. He would be very aggressive in his fighting style.
"And his Aston Martin would be a convertible with 20 inch rims and an 808 sound system in the trunk so you can hear him coming. That’s my Bond."
Currently Daniel Craig is set to reprise his role as the 007 agent in the upcoming Bond 25 movie and already revealed it is to be his last outing as the womanising spy.
The 49-year-old actor – who has played Bond in ‘Casino Royale’, ‘Quantum of Solace’, ‘Skyfall’ and ‘Spectre’ – "always wanted to return" to the role, but he will hang up his tuxedo after Bond 25.
When asked if he would be playing Bond again, he said recently: "Yes. I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been quite cagey about it. I’ve been doing interviews about it all day and people have been asking me and I’ve been kind of coy but I kind of felt like, if I was going to speak the truth, I should speak the truth to you."
A number of celebrities have been rumoured to be taking over from Craig when he steps down including James Norton, Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Aidan Turner, Tom Hardy and Damian Lewis.
Meanwhile, Mackie will be reprising his role as the superhero in the upcoming ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Avengers 4’.
