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 Marcos Pasquim become the Seventh James Bond?

Pasquim’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Dinossaurs & Robots (2011-2011) and Chiquititas (1997-2001). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Pasquim now is – what next?

Three reasons Marcos Pasquim 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 55-year-old Brazilian?
  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Pasquim.
  3. It would give Marcos Pasquim a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
