Henry Cavill would stop being a candidate for the new James Bond and become the bad guy

Without ‘The Witcher’ and Superman out of their schedule, Henry Cavill is now looking for what could be the next franchise that puts him back in the sights of Hollywood blockbusters. Presumably, the actor would stop being one of the favorites to become the new James Bond, to become the villain of the new film in the saga.

According to the Giant Freakin Robot site, they mention that their sources passed them information that Henry Cavill is in talks to play the new James Bond movie villain. It is worth mentioning that the portal has already had success with the announcements of Mabel Cadena in “Black Panther 2” or the return of Professor X in “Doctor Stranger in the Multiverse of Madness”.

In the past, rumors suggested it Henry Cavill was one of the candidates to be the new James Bondafter Daniel Craig left the role in “No Time to Die” to make way for another actor, or even actress, to play Agent 007. However, the information has not been confirmed by Sony, which holds franchise rights.

Barbara Brocolli and Michael G. Wilson have also confirmed this They are not close to starting the cast search for the new James Bond film, nor do they have a definite history. But taking into account that the manufacturer may be lying to keep the surprise until the last moment, you have to be too careful with this information.

And the new James Bond actor?

After the departure of ‘The Witcher’ from Netflix, and with the bitter farewell to DC Comics, Henry Cavill is already working on what will be a new videogame adaptation like ‘Warhammer 40k’ for Amazon Prime Video. And in the event that he joins the James Bond franchise, everything indicates that he wouldn’t be in the lead role, so that leaves the question of who will be tasked with playing the most famous spy.

Different media claims that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the most advanced in the race and one of Sony’s favorites to keep the role, having had a close relationship with the actor after “Kraven the hunter”. But so far nothing is clear. Everything seems to indicate that the following months will be the most important for the producer.

In the same year, ‘Argylle’ premiered on Apple TV+, a spy film in which Henry Cavill stars alongside Dua Lipa, and which will serve as the perfect appetizer for all those who want to see him as James Bond. The 26th film in the series will begin development this same 2023.
