We have heard other reports that Tom Hardy might have an edge over Henry Cavill when it comes to landing the role of James Bond in the next installment. It’s a safe bet that they all want to keep working and a gig like James Bond sounds like a pretty hefty payday. You probably will hear similar responses from other noteworthy actors that might have a shot at the role. Naturally, the biggest question has to do with casting the next James Bond. With No Time to Die signaling the end of Daniel Craig’s tenure as the legendary secret agent, the speculation around the franchise’s future is at a fever pitch. Hearing that Henry Cavill has thrown his hat in to play James Bond is not surprising. There is almost no doubt that he would be equally as excellent as James Bond. Not to mention that Cavill did a fantastic job as Solo in that film. It would be deeply poetic to see him step into the shows of Fleming’s other popular spy character. Cavill actually brought to life another Ian Fleming character when he played the part of Napoleon Solo in the 2015 feature film, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. It is not hard to picture Henry Cavill as the strapping and deadly 007, especially after his enjoyable work as August Walker in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Now, Cavill is still interested in the part and said that he “would absolutely jump at the opportunity.” Apparently, Cavill came close to obtaining the role but nothing ever solidified. In a recent interview with GQ, Henry Cavill reminisced about his early auditions for the role of James Bond.
