Our Dream Cast For Netflix's "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo"

Rita Moreno is an obvious choice to play the oldest Evelyn. Like Evelyn, Moreno is a Latina actor who's worked in Hollywood for years. The book dramatizes classic Hollywood, and Moreno actually lived and worked through that era. Moreno most recently appeared in "Fast X," "Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration," and 2021's "West Side Story." The legend would be a great anchor for the cast of "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo."

For younger Evelyn, Ana de Armas would be incredible. Like Evelyn, de Armas is Cuban. She's also played characters in classic Hollywood before; in September 2022, she starred as Marilyn Monroe in "Blonde," and she received an Oscar nomination for her work.

Like the fictional Celia, Saoirse Ronan has been nominated for an Oscar multiple times. In the book, Celia and Evelyn meet for the first time when they star together in a version of "Little Women" — which, of course, Ronan actually did in 2019. We'd love to see Ronan play out the character's secret love on screen.

Raven Goodwin most recently starred in "Single Black Female" and appeared in multiple episodes of "Abbott Elementary," and the actor has spent years in Hollywood building up an impressive résumé. She would bring depth and humor to the role of Monique in "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo."

Mick Riva isn't just one of Evelyn's ex-husbands — he's also the dad of the gang in "Malibu Rising," another of Jenkins Reid's novels that's being adapted for Hulu. Fans on social media have been clamoring for Harry Styles to play the fictional Mick, who is also a music superstar. Styles added two films to his acting résumé in 2022 — "Don't Worry Darling" and "My Policeman" — and while his performances didn't get rave reviews, he could shine in "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" as a character who's a little closer to his real personality.

You might recognize Hugh Skinner from "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again," where he played the younger version of Colin Firth's Harry. Or you might recognize him from "Fleabag," where he played one of the main character's ex-boyfriends, also named Harry. But Skinner is perfect to play Harry Cameron in "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo," not just because he often plays guys named Harry. Skinner brings a goofy, light quality to his work. And like Harry Cameron, Skinner is gay.

Glen Powell has been building a name for himself as a heartthrob, and he would shine in this role as Celia's husband — and Harry's love — in "The Seven Husband of Evelyn Hugo." Powell most recently appeared in 2022's "Devotion" and "Top Gun: Maverick."

Don Adler is probably the most hated of Evelyn's husbands among readers. During their marriage, he's abusive to her, though they reconcile later in life and become friends. Isaac would be great at capturing the different phases of their relationship.

Max Girard is Evelyn's sixth husband, a French film director. We propose casting Louis Garrel as him in "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo." The actor previously appeared in 2019's "Little Women" as Friedrich Bhaer and nailed the whole artsy, intellectual angle.

Rex North is Evelyn's fourth husband (and one of her costars). He's aloof, and their marriage is purely for press. Alexander Skarsgård would shine in this role.

James Grant is Monique's dad, who died when she was young. Alfred Enoch, who shined in "How to Get Away With Murder," would bring both humor and dramatic chops to "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo."
