Every man, at some point in his life, wishes he could be James Bond. And with the news that Daniel Craig may well be out as 007, there are a whole bunch of actors from London to Buenos Aires wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Julián Gil become the Seventh James Bond?

Gil’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in La que no podía amar (2011-2012), Sortilegio (2009-2009) and Acorralada (2008-2009). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Gil now is – what next?

Three reasons Julián Gil would be good for the James Bond franchise

  1. It would clarify that Bond is a rotating identity: If M can be a woman, why can't James Bond be a 54-year-old Argentine?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Gil.
  3. It would give Julián Gil a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
