9 actors who could replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond
6. Henry Cavill
Everyone’s favorite nerdy actor. Miniature painting? He’s got it. Computer building? Pretty sure we’ve all lost our minds over watched the video. Gamer? He almost missed his Superman audition because of a raid in WoW. He’s been Geralt, Sherlock Holmes, Superman….. why not add James Bond to his impressive list of achievements? Fun fact: he was almost cast as 007 but got pushed aside for being “too young”.
Now, with a jawline that could cut glass and a distinguished demeanor to match, Cavill is still one of the top contenders to play Bond according to fans. The man who brought Superman to life in the DC Extended Universe could definitely nail James Bond’s role. His transformation over the years from the boyish “almost-Bond” to the
absolutely gorgeous
refined Man of Steel makes him a compelling candidate who could fill James Bond’s shoes – and tux – quite comfortably.
Not to mention, Cavill isn’t just ridiculously attractive the right amount of charming to play Bond, he has the action-star experience to bring excellent fight choreography to the 007 world. The real question isn’t if he could be Bond, but rather, why hasn’t he been offered a shaken martini and a Walther PPK already?! With the gravitas, charisma, and good looks style that Henry Cavill exudes, this could be his golden opportunity to give us a James Bond we’ve all been waiting for.
