Now that Daniel Craig’s 007 era has come to an end, there is some sort of uncertainty that surrounds the James Bond franchise.
Henry Cavill in Man of Steel
Cavill has expressed his interest and, in fact, auditioned for Casino Royale when he was 22, right after Pierce Brosnan’s exit. Unfortunately, he lost the role to 38-year-old Daniel Craig in 2006.
The actor believed that he was passed over because he was “a little chubby” but, in an interview with Cinemablend, Casino Royale director Martin Campbell revealed that he was too young.
“I did test him for Bond, as you know. He did a very good test, [but] he was too young, and also he wasn’t as experienced as Daniel. Daniel just fitted the part from being a superb actor, and probably the best actor amongst them all.”
James Bond Producers Are Looking For Younger Actor

Sixteen years after Casino Royale‘s debut, the search for the next James Bond actor is on. But, just as Cavill finally gets another shot of opportunity to land his dream role, fate has found a way to pull some tricks.
In an episode of Lorraine via IGN, entertainment correspondent Ross King reports that the Bond franchise is currently looking for a much younger actor, which entirely rules out Cavill and many other contenders from the list.
“The latest rumor – and in some ways part of this is very much true – which is, basically, the Bond producers are looking for a younger Bond. Someone is probably in their 30s.
At the end of the day, they want someone who will be Bond for the next three movies.”
Henry Cavill Will Have To Leave DCEU For 007 Role
Now that the age requirement for the role has been established, this certainly means that the 39-year-old Henry Cavill can no longer become James Bond.
With at least three installments planned out, he will be in his 40s and may not look the part anymore.
There is also the issue of his weight, which is not exactly the physical frame that directors are going for.
Furthermore, Henry Cavill will have to make the difficult decision of leaving the DCEU and giving up the Superman role if he ever becomes 007.
He is also rumored to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe to play Hyperion in the Disney+ series Loki so accepting another project will wreak havoc on his schedule.
While the rumors of casting a younger James Bond are still not confirmed, as it is likely that the filming won’t begin for another two years, there is still time to find a much more suitable actor for the role.
Fans have expressed interest in Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn, who many believe looked like a younger James Bond.
