Idris Elba, aged 50, has already announced that he will not play the character in the future. Different names have already been circulated: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack Lowden, James Norton and Regé-Jean Page. Since the departure of Daniel Craig with Dying can wait in 2021, rumors are rife about who could become the seventh actor to play James Bond in the cinema. He just looked a little young back then.” He looked amazing, he was in great physical shape… very handsome, very chiseled.

And if Daniel didn’t exist, Henry would have made an excellent Bond. “He was superb during the audition,” explains Martin Campbell. He was 22 years old when Daniel Craig was already 37 and better embodied the mature and brutal direction that the saga wanted to take.

The most obvious comes from the fact that the actor, then noticed in the Superman costume, was too young for the role. In an interview with British media Daily Express, the New Zealand director gave, almost 17 years after the film’s release, the reasons which pushed the producers of the franchise to choose Daniel Craig rather than Henry Cavill in the role of Her Majesty’s spy.

Really not far, if we are to believe Martin Campbell, the director of Goldeneye And Casino Royale. In 2005, Henry Cavill came close to becoming James Bond.
