As a long-time fan of the James Bond franchise and having watched Henry Cavill‘s impressive performances in Man of Steel and The Witcher, I wholeheartedly support his potential casting as 007. His charisma, acting chops, and physical prowess make him an ideal candidate for the role. Plus, with his recent departure from The Witcher and DC universe, it seems like the stars are aligning for Cavill to finally take on the iconic role of James Bond.
A new favorite has now emerged for the iconic role of James Bond…and it’s actually a long-running fan-favorite. Man of Steel and The Witcher star has now taken the top spot from Kraven the Hunter and Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, according to new data from Betway Casino (via The Express). Cavill has long been a top contender for the role of 007, with many Bond fans still hoping that the 41-year-old former Superman actor will take over from Daniel Craig in the beloved franchise.
As a movie buff, I’ve been eagerly following the buzz around who could potentially land the coveted role. Recent findings based on Google searches, article engagement, Reddit mentions of 31 potential candidates have revealed some interesting insights. According to these data, Henry Cavill has surged to the top spot from Taylor-Johnson. The report also suggests that the MCU actor and Luthor himself, Idris Elba, is currently in third place. Aaron Taylor-Johnson holds the second position, with Tom Hardy, who played Venom, coming in fourth, and Peaky Blinders’ Cillian Murphy trailing closely behind in fifth. It’s an exciting time for fans like me as we wait to see who will eventually step into this iconic role!
It’s plausible that either Cavill or Taylor-Johnson might secure the role as James Bond, but the remaining three candidates are considered very unlikely due to factors like age and public image. Notably, Cavill is now liberated from significant franchises such as The Witcher and the DC universe. For quite some time, fans have been clamoring for him to put on a tuxedo, shake a martini, and embody Bond – much like how Hugh Jackman managed with Wolverine.
What’s Next for James Bond?
At present, it’s uncertain what the studio has in mind for James Bond after Daniel Craig bids farewell in 2021’s “No Time to Die.” The series is likely to explore a fresh path following Craig’s more traditional sequels, with some suggesting a relatively younger actor might be selected for the role going forward. However, the identity of the actor who will spearhead this new Bond era has yet to be revealed. Although recent speculation points towards Henry Cavill, betting odds still favor Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Other contenders include James Norton, Damson Idris, and Paul Mescal from “Gladiator 2.
Currently, Eon Productions is said to be interviewing prospective directors. Some notable candidates for the position are Edward Berger, who won an Academy Award for his work on “All Quiet on the Western Front”, Kelly Marcel known for “Venom: The Last Dance”, Australian filmmaker David Michôd famous for “Animal Kingdom” and “The Rover”, Bart Layton, creator of “The Imposter” and “American Animals”, and Yann Demange who has directed “71” and “Top Boy”.
Despite the anticipation, the studio believes the audience is content with the delay. Jennifer Salke, who heads Amazon’s MGM Studios, along with veteran James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, seem confident that fans will show understanding and wait.
I’ve come across several intriguing suggestions for potential actors, and I find them all quite engaging. There seems to be a variety of paths we could take. Given our strong bond with Eon, Barbara, and Michael, we aim to follow their lead in the production process. We don’t intend to alter the way these magnificent films are created. The global audience is understanding, so we don’t want an excessive gap between releases, but we’re not under any immediate pressure.
