Eduardo Casanova, or should we say Fidel Martínez, really connected with the Cuban audience through his character in the popular Spanish series "Aída"; now the actor, screenwriter, and Spanish director returns to the screen with the film Aída y vuelta.
In a recent interview, he was asked what motivated him to reprise the role of Fidel, and his response earned him even more affection from the Cubans.
The two reasons why I am making this movie are for the fans, especially those from Cuba, and for my brother and friend Paco, because I believe they are the two people who deserve it the most, the fans of the series have given me everything I am now, and my brother Paco has also given me everything,” he said jokingly, winking at the Cuban fans.
For Cuban fans of this Spanish series, this is great news, and they responded with much affection to Eduardo's statements: “The only Fidel that Cubans love”; “How wonderful that you do this for those in Cuba”; “I never thought that as a Cuban I would say this, but long live Fidel”; “Cubans love the best series”; “Aída is the favorite series of Cubans”; “In Cuba, there are the most loyal fans; it's beautiful to see that we are remembered”; “Cuba will always be the first and most loyal fans. Long live the Fidel of Aída, down with the one from Cuba”.
The phenomenon of "Aída" will be back in 2025, this time in movie format, directed by Paco León who will alternate between his role as director and his popular character Luisma.
The exact release date is still unknown as the film is currently in the middle of production, but much of the original cast from the series will be present, including Eduardo and Paco, along with Carmen Machi, Mariano Peña, Pepe Viyuela, Miren Ibarguren, Canco Rodríguez, Melani Olivares, Marisol Ayuso, and David Castillo.
