Latinos continue to be underrepresented in leading roles across mainstream television and film, perpetuating stereotypes and limiting opportunities. As Barbara Broccoli begins the search for the next James Bond, it’s time to challenge the status quo. The legendary character of James Bond, famously inspired by Porfirio Rubirosa Ariza—a Latino diplomat, race car driver, soldier, and polo player—has yet to be portrayed by a Latino actor.

Imagine Mario Lopez stepping into the iconic role of 007. With his charisma, screen presence, and versatility, we’re confident he could deliver a fresh and captivating take on the character, complete with a flawless English accent.

It’s time to see Latinos breaking barriers, leading blockbuster franchises, and reshaping Hollywood. Join us in supporting greater representation by signing this petition and sharing it widely. Together, we can open doors for Latino talent and pave the way for a more inclusive entertainment industry.

Thank you for being part of this movement for Latino inclusion!
