Who will be the next James Bond? Since Daniel Craig has not died of the role of the most famous secret agent in the world with no time, fans of the series are speculating about the actor next to the field with the double rull status against a megalomaniac villain and saves the world.
With all the names that have been circulating with James Bond in the past few months and years, one keeps a particularly persistent way: Henry Cavill. There were no serious rumors that Cavill becomes the next bond. Some fans are still fire and flame for the British actor.
And now the casting has become much more realistic again.
The James Bond series is no longer in the hands of Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson
Until recently, creative control over the James Bond series was in the hands of Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. The two of them had taken over the lead of the death of their father, Albert R. Broccoli, and thus produced both the Bond films with Pierce Brosnan and that with Daniel Craig.
Broccoli and Wilson realized that the time for Brosnan’s Bond was over and decided not to extend the actor’s contract, even though Stirb became the most successful bond on another day. Instead, they took a risk and branched the then unknown and atypical for the role.
A risk that was worth it: Casino Royale exceeded the predecessor to the box office and brought a breath of fresh air to the row that lasted for 15 years. Broccoli and Wilson were extremely good to interpret the zeitgeist when it came to renewing the series. Now you have handed over creative control to Amazon MGM Studios.
At this point, Henry Cavill (again) comes into play. Already in the course of Casino Royale, he had spoken for the iconic part. Although his casting video was anything but convincing, many fans still want to see him as a bond. Cavill also leads to the latest survey.
Henry Cavill as the next James Bond actor: That is why the casting is now possible again
When Amazon boss Jeff Bezos asked the Internet for his favorite for Bond 26 a few days ago, Henry Cavill was particularly often mentioned as a candidate. Of course, he is not cast immediately because of this, but it is noticeable that Bezos, as the first official bond act, asks this question so openly to the fans.
Satisfacture fan wishes-this credo currently determines Hollywood like hardly any other. In the superhero cinema in particular, we have experienced this in recent years, especially through the camo and crossover wave, which were made possible by the multiverse concept. Every fan wish is possible from now on-and makes cash register.
Three spidey generations in a film? No problem. Fan favorite John Krasinski as Mister Fantastic? This is what he looks like. Even Deadpool and Wolverine got a second chance after their first encounter. Why a second star Wars: Risk the last Jedi if you can meet expectations?
With Henry Cavill as James Bond, Amazon would have many fans on his side for the restart of the series
Amazon is said to have cost a billion of the Bond deal, as Deadline reports. This tells us above all: Amazon is in a hurry with the next bond and no longer wants to wait after Broccoli and Wilson have not made any progress in the past four years to position a new bond.
Under the old Bond lead that was looking for unusual new faces, Cavill Anno 2025 would have been unthinkable. On the other hand, he seems obvious as a franchise turbo starter for Amazon. Last but not least, he has already completed various agent test runs with Codename Uncle, Mission: Impossible-Fallout and Argylle.
What Amazon is doing with the Bond series and the Bond casting is of course not yet known. However, the chances that Cavill will play the next James Bond have increased enormously with the new deal.
