After Daniel Craig’s exit, the search for a new James Bond is in full swing. Many fans want to see Henry Cavill in the role, who has already proven his suitability with spy hits like Codename UNCLE. According to a new rumor, the high hopes are probably in vain. Because he might be too old.

Over for Henry Cavill: James Bond makers may be looking for younger 007

Namely, according to ITV reporter Ross King, the Bond producers want a younger cast member (via Express UK):

The Bond producers are rumored to be looking for a younger Bond. Someone who is probably still in their 30s. After all, they want someone to play Bond for the next three films. They’re looking for a cast member for the franchise to carry the role like Daniel Craig did.

The statements are anything but solid facts. But if the rumor is true Cavill would be out of the 007 race. The The Witcher star will turn 40 in 2023, likely crossing the possible age limit before the next Bond film is made.

On the other hand older actors in the Bond role have a long tradition. Roger Moore was 45 when he first appeared on Bond, and Craig was 38. In the end, Cavill probably has a disadvantage in the 007 race. He’s the best contender either way, there’s no question about that for his fans.
