Fans Swarm Social Media to Get Henry Cavill Hired on as James Bond

With No Time to Die, Daniel Craig has retired his tuxedo and handed in his license to kill, bringing an end to his tenure as James Bond.

Craig succeeded at MI6, receiving widespread acclaim for Casino Royale and Skyfall, which became the most lucrative Bond film of all time. It will be difficult to succeed in those stylish shoes, but it appears that EON Productions is not rushing things.

In an interview, Barbara Broccoli said that the next entry would redefine the character. It will take at least two years to make, so it will most likely premiere in 2025 or 2026. That’s a long wait, especially when you consider that the typical moviegoer age is getting older.

Henry Cavill, who’s long been a name in the running for the part, is one of the most famous. He’s hot and dapper in a tuxedo, and has action film experience to boot. His large following is not pleased that EON is taking so long to make a decision.

For others, Cavill is a no-brainer:

If Henry Cavill becomes the next James Bond, I will watch first day. I love literally everything he does. Probably my favorite actor under Harrison Ford

This poster has the clever concept of a period-set Bond:

like do Henry Cavill as Bond set in the 60s, do a gritty 70s Bond etc

Is he the one and only alternative?

We can’t deny that he has the look. The major concern is that Cavill has signed on for multiple seasons of The Witcher with Netflix, and he’s also still (very hypothetically) the DCEU’s Superman. That may imply that though he’d definitely perform well in the role, scheduling difficulties might prevent it from happening.

Our money is on a young and talented actor who is making waves in independent films right now. After Craig’s prior Bond, it makes sense to go with a younger version of the iconic secret agent, especially if the intention is to expand his tale over many installments.
