Henry Cavill has already lost two major roles that made him stand out from the crowd. The news that he will not be playing either Superman or Geralt in the future left fans dejected. Despite these big shockers, they made peace with the possibility of this beloved superstar taking another iconic role. For months, people have been wondering about him taking the throne of the James Bond franchise, which has been empty since its former ruler stepped down.

But that dream of the audiences might also shatter because of the decision the British actor made for his future endeavors. These two new movies might rule out his name from the 007 race forever.

New projects of Henry Cavill might prevent him from playing James Bond

Though Henry Cavill has said goodbye to his heroic role, the actor never had a shortage of offers from filmmakers. In fact, he has already wrapped the shooting of many movies and two of them bear similarities to James Bond. Both spy thrillers titled Argylle and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, will feature the 40-year-old. The first film will be based on the works of Elly Conway and will depict him as a world-class spy suffering from amnesia.

The latter will take him into the World War II era when Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming founded a secret combat organization. Looking at these amazing projects that the actor is headlining, it might not be possible for him to pave in way for 007, considering both films have a good deal of franchise potential. In fact, this might just give the Enola Holmes star a chance to build his own legacy with the character like James Bond did.

These spy movies can become the turning point of Cavill’s career

Fans have huge hopes from the James Bond project that this franchise will bring back the glorious time of Henry Cavill. But people cannot ignore the fact that the Jersey-born star does not match the age criteria for this role. Thus, Argylle and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare might be the right opportunity for him to emerge into something new and iconic. Also, both these films will also fulfill the dreams of fans of watching him play the role of cunning and intelligent spy.

Cavill has worked with franchises for a long time, which puts him under huge expectations and pressure. Superman has a massive following and when he hung his cape, fans became enraged with DC for benching him. The same happened with the Netflix fantasy drama The Witcher and fans are still not accepting that fact. So this new chapter in his career might free him of all such expectations.
