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 Havana wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could César Évora become the Seventh James Bond?

Évora’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Amor bravío (2012-2012), Triunfo del amor (2010-2011) and La Madrastra (2007-2005). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Évora now is – what next?

Three reasons César Évora 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 65-year-old Cuban?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Évora.
  3. It would give César Évora a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
