Could Willy Toledo become the Seventh James Bond?

Toledo’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Cuestión de sexo (2007-2009) and The Other Side of the Bed (2002). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Toledo now is – what next?

Three reasons Willy Toledo would be good for the James Bond franchise

  3. It would give Willy Toledo a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
