Henry Cavill Being The Next James Bond Has The Opposite Problem Of His Failed Casino Royale Audition

Henry Cavill was considered for the role of James Bond almost twenty years ago, but now that he's being considered again, there's a similar problem.

Although the next actor to take over the iconic role of James Bond hasn’t been announced yet, Henry Cavill is among the most popular names in contention. The actor is best known for playing Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel and several subsequent entries in the DCEU, alongside Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher. He’s been in the conversation for James Bond since long before Daniel Craig had even stepped back, with his British charm and charisma making him an ideal choice.

Casting a younger actor to play Bond would’ve been an interesting decision for Casino Royale, but Campbell has since admitted that he wanted to bring somebody who fit all the criteria of James Bond while still doing something fresh and new. Craig was a fairly unknown actor at the time, not really fitting the physical description of Bond from the books and previous films, but the age was something that Campbell wanted to keep similar. Otherwise, Cavill would’ve had a serious chance.
