Henry Cavill For James Bond… Why He Would Make The Best 007 Agent

Actor, Henry Cavill has once again revealed that he would very much like to play the character of the international spy, James Bond.

This is not the first time that Henry Cavill’s name has come up among the actors considered to play the MI6, 007 agent. In fact, Cavill once auditioned for the role back then and he lost to Daniel Craig, the current Bond.

Henry Cavill recently admitted to GQ  that he would definitely grab the role it came to him, saying.

If Barbara [Bond producer Barbara Broccoli] and Mike [co-producer Michael G. Wilson] were interested in that, I would absolutely jump at the opportunity. At this stage, it’s all up in the air. We’ll see what happens. But yes, I would love to play Bond, it would be very, very exciting.

That’s him giving a hint, producers.

First or all Cavill has the ‘typical’ Bond look, if you squint a bit, he could resemble a younger Roger Moore, who played the role of James Bond back in the day or maybe a hybrid of Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore.

In the past, the Bond producers favored a certain look with their leads, including dark hair, a classic, timeless look, sleek style and a certain suaveness. Something Henry Cavill has in spades.

The introduction of Daniel Craig threw that out of the ring, Daniel doesn’t have have the typical bond look  but he brought a fresh and raw approach to the agent.

Daniel is grittier, lethal and definitely has a lot of testosterone to throw around, so there’s that.

Henry Cavill has seen a lot of action as well with his role in Man Of Steel and the DC Franchise films which followed, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.  and as the eccentric detective, Sherlock Holmes, so he’s well acquainted with films which demand such a range.

Something the Bond producers know very well is that the character also needs to appeal to the ladies and Cavill does feature on many ladies bachelor party auction wish list.

As someone who has auditioned for the role of James Bond role before, Henry Cavill has had plenty of time to grow acquainted with the character, to mature and to improve, there is little doubt that he would ace his audition this time.

It’s up to the producers of the Bond Franchise if he’s the man for the job and the direction they see it going.

After all Daniel Craig broke the Bond mold and there have been strong calls to cast non white actors as James Bond, to promote the diversity in the industry and not a sideline other talented actors, because they are the ‘wrong race’ or don’t have a certain look.

Other names like the talented Tom Hardy have also been thrown in the ring to play Bond. Former James Bond actor, Pierce Brosnan once mentioned that Tom Hardy would be a brilliant Bond and he’d love him to play the character.

Hardy is known for his wide acting range, his chameleon like ability to transform into any character. And he also throws a lot of testosterone around like Craig.
