Cavill is too buff and young. If we go for someone like that, Robert Pattinson could do it.

Gotta be a 50 year old spy like man. More gaunt than normal. Fassbender would definitely be good.

Cavill is older than you think. He is currently 38 and will be more like 40-41 by the time the next Bond move films most likely. Here are the ages of previous Bond actors when their first and last Bond movies filmed:

  • Barry Nelson: 37
  • David Niven: 56
  • Sean Connery: 31 first movie, 52 last movie
  • George Lazenby: 29
  • Roger Moore: 46 first movie, 56 last movie
  • Timothy Dalton: 40 first movie, 42 last movie
  • Pierce Brosnan: 41 first movie, 48 last movie
  • Daniel Craig: 37 first movie, 51 last movie

So, Cavill being about 40-41 when the next movie films is definitely not too young, Connery and Craig both started younger than 40 out of the multi-movie Bond actors, while Dalton and Pierce started at about 40-41.

Too young, the other bonds were too young too. Although I am not sure how old James Bond is supposed to be.

Too buff anyways. I think a skinnier Bond is fine like Daniel Craig.

James Bond must be posh and witty, that's why I never liked Craig as Bond, in old 007 movies they would have cast him as a KGB agent. Two I could see as the next Bond are Hugh Laurie and Hugh Grant, but better Laurie, Grant's good boy face isn't bondish enough.

From the books it is assumed that Ian Fleming wanted to keep Bond around age 37.

Henry Cavill ?

Didn't he say that being Bond was one of his dreams? Or was it just my imagination? ?

But yeah, seems unlikely with how many films and TV series he is involved.

They always pick someone who isn't a big celebrity already.
So who would I like to see play James Bond next? Someone I haven't even thought of. Surprise me please! I will actually be disappointed if they pick someone I have already imagined in the role, such as Fassbender or Elba.

Yes, he definitely wants to be Bond, and made it to the final casting round for Casino Royale back in 2005 alongside Daniel Craig (Goran Višnjić, Alex O'Loughlin, Julian McMahon, Ewan McGregor, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Star had previously been eliminated in earlier casting rounds, while Karl Urban wanted to audition but had a prior filming commitment which prevented him from doing a screentest). Ultimately it was decided that Henry Cavill was too young to play Bond at the time (he was just 22, 7 years younger than the previously youngest Bond, George Lazenby) so they went with 37 year old Daniel Craig. He also has a funny story to tell about the casting process for Casino Royale, one of his screentests was a towel scene, Martin Campbell, the director, told him he was looking a little chubby during the towel scene, and he took the criticism very seriously and got the ripped physique he is known for today.

Cavill stated just recently that he still wants to play Bond or basically any role in a Bond movie.

lmao, thanks Martin Campbell for that comment if it meant ripped Henry ?

I guess he will most likely end up as a Bond villain.
