A flat role for a flat man
What I like most about him is--always have been, his manners. Calm, composed, warm, POLITE, sharp. So culturally polite it's deeply inspiring.
I always thought he was tailor made to play James Bond. His performance as a villain in Mission Impossible shows he has that edge.

Yes, and that’s the problem. Playing it safe is really difficult, it’s very close to playing it boring. When you make Bond films, you’re basically doomed to make the same film over and over again, and I think they’ve mostly been doing a fine job - and that’s really really hard when you don’t give yourself some room to maneuver. I think we’re in for a slight reboot.

@@mm9773that’s why they can always make it period accurate to the books because bond was a WAYYYY MORE interesting character in the novels than he was in the movies and yes more interesting than weepy Craig in NTTD or they can make a tv show about his origins and I mean his REAL origins from the books where he was born in 1920 and was a WW2 veteran. There’s no law that says that they make only movies there’s a whole wide universe of opportunities for new ideas that don’t necessarily have to be up with times. In fact trying to keep up with the times will make you even more dated and try hard.

I don’t know why they’re dragging their feet. Cavill gets my vote as the next 007. He is perfect. British, tall, handsome, good build, great voice. Bond director Martin Campbell said he nailed his screen test years ago - my understanding is he was just too young at the time. Cavill has experience playing in big movies and he obviously would love the role. Sometimes actors are just perfect for a part - and he IS James Bond. Get on with it.

Fun fact: He already was the runner-up when they chose Daniel Craig as Bond. They cited his youth (Cavill was only 22 years old at that time) as the main reason for choosing Craig instead of him. The other reason was that they just had a gentleman Bond with Pierce Brosnan before and wanted someone that was a little rough around the edges to keep things fresh.

It's a myth, fiction, and very destructive, to say that Henry Cavill is too old to play James Bond. At 40 to 43 if he were to play three James Bond movies with a 3 to 5 year spread, he would be equal to or younger than Rodger Moore in his last James Bond movie. Henry Cavill is leaps and bounds ahead of any other contender.

Cavill was born to be Bond and it baffles me how they have not chosen him for it. Maybe they want younger but from where I'm standing you could make some very good 3 or 4 movies with Henry Cavill every 2 years. He would be about 48 by his 4th, which is younger than Daniel Craig to finish being 007.

I don't know why Henry Cavill would want to dedicate the prime years of his career just doing Bond films. And Bond films aren't small films that you can churn out every two years. Look at the gap between Craig's Bond films. They take at least 3 years in between films. And normally, someone like Cavill would like to do something in between.

They should probably cast Henry Cavill as James Bond ASAP! He was actually born to play the role. Too bad he lost the role to Daniel Craig, just because he was deemed too young at the time (he was actually 22). Craig was magnificently amazing though. Hope Cavill finally get a chance to shine as Bond. Shaken, not stirred. They CAN, however, cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson as his brother & sidekick though. Idris Elba and David Dastmalchian as the Villains Margot Robbie as Female Bond/ Love Interest Lashana Lynch as Nomi (Reprising her role from No Time To Time) Naomie Harris as MoneyPenny Ben Whishaw as Q with Ralph Fiennes as M Cillian Murphy and Rachel Zegler as Bond’s brother’s love interest Ed Sheeran & Taylor Swift both should write an original theme music with Jack Antonoff, and probably have Rachel Zegler sing it if she’s interested. Or maybe have Sia write an original theme song and probably have Zegler sing it if they’re both interested. Hans Zimmer and Jack Antonoff compose the soundtrack Produced By: Christopher McQuarrie p.g.a., Christopher Nolan p.g.a. Emma Thomas p.g.a., Written By: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Christopher McQuarrie & Christopher Nolan Directed By: Christopher Nolan I also wish that film was 3hrs long like Oppenheimer, and finally get a $2B Box Office film.

Bro I'm dying to read the Superman movie that Henry and Mission Impossible director Chris Mcquarrie pitched to WB, who sadly turned them both down. Such a shame. However, insiders say he may have been asking for way too much money and major creative control, that an A level star can demand. However Cavill isn't an A level star (probably at least B - C level) and that to some degree I can understand WB being a little hesitant to bring him back due to his demands that maybe he hadn't quiet earned, but at the same time WB was also being extremely difficult as well.
I always thought Ian Fleming based Bond on Sidney Riley.
Yes 007 all the way with Henry Cavill
How could he NOT be Bond, for cryin out loud!!
This guy must to be 007. It's perfect for the role.
I always heard that the character of James Bond was based off Christopher Lee as he is step-cousin's to Ian Flemming, as Lee saw a lot of combat for England during WW2
Love the glint in Henry's eyes when he's asked about Bond. Let's hope that he's hiding something.

I get that he could be the perfect Bond. He definitely has that suave. However Barbara Broccoli said that they’re working out on where to go with the next Bond and how they’re going to approach the next film. Honestly it’s quite interesting, albeit going to be difficult, to see how the next Bond going to be. Daniel Craig was dark and cold, so to speak, and he brought a different dimension to Bond movies. I hope they can come up with an approach where Henry can show a lot of aspect, not just a regular Bond like we know.
Everyone keeps banging on about it so much that it now basically cannot happen but at least we'll get his Gus March-Phillips.

These sorts of ops are well known. There was a whole movie about Ian Fleming and what he did in the war. It was fictionalized, but it was fun. And based on some reality.
Only time will tell
Roger Moore was 57 when he did "A View To A Kill." Connery was 53 when he did "Never Say Never Again." Cavill is not too old to play Bond. But seeing the direction they've been taking Bond lately during the Craig era, maybe it's time to give this franchise a rest and let it come back when the direction it takes is a better one.

Been a fan of James Bond since I was child. While I am not overly keen on any of the actors that have been name dropped as potentially being the next Bond, Henry Cavill would definitely be my choice if it was my choice. I don't think he lends himself so much to the Daniel Craig style of Bond but each of the respective actors have had a different take on the character and I have no doubt that Cavill could and would follow suit.
He should be , He have my vote.
