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 Brasília wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Henri Castelli become the Seventh James Bond?

Castelli’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Gabriela (2012-2012), O Astro (2011-2011) and Snakes & Lizards (2006-2006). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Castelli now is – what next?

Three reasons Henri Castelli 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 46-year-old Brazilian?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Castelli.
  3. It would give Henri Castelli a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
